Malcolm Jenkins has long been outspoken about social issues, and now he'll have another platform to do so, as CNN is bringing on the former Ohio State defensive back as a regular contributor.
Jenkins, currently with the New Orleans Saints, is expected to appear on several CNN studio shows where he'll comment on national affairs related to racism and other social issues.
“Having spent years running non-profits and supporting grassroots organizations to address the inequalities of our criminal justice system, educational system and disparate wealth in our marginalized communities, I believe I can be a voice for other athlete activists and those who have dedicated their lives to changing legislation, policies and reforms for human equality,” Jenkins said in a statement.
