EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (CBSNewYork/AP) — Janoris Jenkins is humble enough and smart enough not to call himself the best cornerback in the NFL.
So let Los Angeles Rams coach Jeff Fisher speak for the former free agent whom the New York Giants signed in the offseason to a five-year, $62.5 million contract.
In discussing Sunday’s game between the Giants (3-3) and Rams (3-3) in London, Fisher was glowing when asked about Jenkins, who played his first four seasons with Fisher in St. Louis.
Fisher wanted Jenkins back with the Rams this season, but it seemed the team could not match the Giants’ offer, which included a $10 million signing bonus and a $28 million guarantee.
