Something that caught me by surprise during the Las Vegas Raiders' first preseason game against the San Francisco 49ers was how well defensive tackle John Jenkins performed as a pass-rusher.

In the past, Jenkins has been known as a run defender who doesn’t provide much pressure on the quarterback. According to Pro Football Focus, the most pressures he’s had during the regular season is 13, and that’s going all the way back to his rookie year in 2013. He’s topped out at 12 since then and has only cracked double-digits four times in 10 years.
