On sheer size alone, John Jenkins has the build of a prototypical nose tackle at 6-foot-3 and 335 pounds. The 34-year-old 11-year veteran brings plenty of experience, too and that’s something the Las Vegas Raiders need on the defensive front.
Jenkins, who entered the league as a third-round pick (New Orleans Saints) in the 2013 NFL Draft had 116 career games under his belt (30 starts) with 212 total tackles (112 solo), eight stops for loss, 2.5 sacks, and nine quarterback hits. He arrived to Las Vegas in free agency this off season after two years with the Miami Dolphins.
