Malcolm Jenkins Calls It A Career
3 years agoNew Orleans Saints defensive back Malcolm Jenkins told Ryan Clark that he is retiring after a 13-year career in which he won two Super Bowls and made three Pro Bowls. The 34-year-old was originally drafted in the first round (14th overall) by the Saints and spent his first five seasons playing in New Orleans before joining the Philadelphia Eagles for six years. Jenkins returns to the Saints the last two years and will walk away with 1,044 tackles (804 solo), 51 tackles for loss, 35 QB hits, 13.5 sacks, 21 interceptions (seven for touchdowns), 110 passes defensed, 20 forced fumbles and 11 fumbles recoveries (one for a TD) in 199 career games (191 starts). Jenkins' retirement will leave a leadership void in the Saints secondary.
