Malcolm Jenkins - The Key to the Eagles Defense

At age 31 Jenkins hasn't missed a game for the Birds. It's time to recognize that the 10 year vet is the engine that runs the Eagles defense.

Malcolm Jenkins has been the unsung hero of the Philadelphia Eagles. Going back to his first year in Philly when Chip Kelly brought him. Now in his sixth year the eagles, he shows no signs of slowing down.

A veteran and a captain on the field, Jenkins leadership can not go unnoticed. He does everything the team needs to do. He is a Swiss army knife at safety, where he can play multiple spots. Jenkins can play back and cover deep, can come up in the box and stop the run, come off the edge on a blitz and also can line up in the slot and cover a receiver. Not many safeties in the league are as versatile as Malcolm, and the birds are lucky to have him.
