Malcom Jenkins closed the chapter on an outstanding NFL career Wednesday, announcing his retirement after 13 professional seasons. The former Buckeye All-American and Jim Thorpe Award winner spent time with the New Orleans Saints and Philadelphia Eagles, and started 191 regular-season games (13+ in each of his last 12 years). Jenkins won two Super Bowls, beating both Peyton Manning and Tom Brady, was named to three Pro Bowls, and continued playing at a high level into his mid-thirties.
He was highly respected as a player and vocal team leader, but his actions off the field were arguably more impressive.
