Last season, Philadelphia Eagles safety Malcolm Jenkins played every defensive snap of the season. We could stop this entire story right now, but we’ll continue.
As difficult as it is to complete an entire NFL season and stay healthy, Jenkins did it. Prior to that, he was a key piece and one of the leaders on the team when the Eagles finally delivered the Lombardi Trophy to their city and fans.
If you ever want to question his leadership skills, check out any NFL Films presentation of that game. Jenkins was ‘mic’d up’, and though Philly’s defense had their issues on that day (Tom Brady can make many NFL teams look foolish), Philly made a couple of plays when it mattered.
