Giants training camp: Cullen Jenkins talks Pierre-Paul, his role on defensive line

Veteran expresses concern for JPP, but says team has to focus on getting better.

Cullen Jenkins has somewhat of a quiet presence on the New York Giants right now. Within a defensive line full of youthful players, Jenkins stands out as a shrewd veteran. He's the only one of the group over 30 years old, and the Giants are one of four professional teams he has played for, including the Cologne Centurions of the now defunct NFL Europe. That last part should be the biggest indicator of his age.

Jenkins' current role with the team is being a reliable, experienced hand to show the younger guys how to conduct themselves both on and off the field.
