If, about a year ago, you took a poll of New York Giants fans of which of their big 2016 free agent signings would still be on the roster in 2019, the most common answer probably wouldn’t have been Janoris Jenkins.
In 2019, however, Jackrabbit remains and finds himself as the elder statesman of the Giants’ secondary. Now, he is surrounded by young players, many of whom haven’t taken an NFL snap yet — and he is the defacto leader of the group. Fortunately, Jenkins isn’t afraid of a leadership role, though he prefers to lead with his work on the practice field.
