Janoris Jenkins

[johnnyd]

still waiting on measurables but

Speaking at the Combine Sunday, North Alabama CB Janoris Jenkins, who is 23, revealed he has four children under the age of four.

In a very forthcoming presser, Jenkins also confirmed he's been arrested three times and failed a drug test. Jenkins was dismissed from the University of Florida last April following his second marijuana-related arrest, but insists he has been drug-free for over a year. Jenkins' voluminous off-the-field issues surely have him off some teams' draft boards, but he has the talent to be a first-round pick.

I agree to a point. If we don't pick up a corner in free agency and Kirkpatrick doesn't have a good combine id take Jenkins. It seems we are just that desperate for cb

Jenkins was dismissed from Florida after being arrested for marijuana possession and signed on with North Alabama. The experience hurt his draft stock, but he repeatedly said it's been a tremendous learning experience and that he's "done" with marijuana.

"I'm done with it forever," Jenkins said. "I can't do it, man."

Jenkins also said the last time he used marijuana was when he was arrested and kicked off the team at Florida. And Jenkins said that he's been arrested three times, twice for marijuana and once for a bar fight. Jenkins said that he failed only one drug test at Florida.

Selected Questions from the Q and A. To read the full Q and A on Scout.com click here

Q: What did you learn from the past year?

A: It made me a stronger person, taught me how to fight through reality. That I’ve got to separate myself from certain guys, certain people. To be successful at the next level I can’t do the things I used to do.

Q: How much do you think your issues have hurt you with certain teams?

A: I’m pretty sure it will hurt me. But I’m looking past that, looking forward to moving on and being successful from here on out.

Q: How conquer marijuana issues, stay away from people?

A: Eliminate myself from some of those guys I used to hang with. I think about my mom all the time and my kids. In order for me
to be successful and them to have a great life or a nice life I’ve got to put it behind me. In order for my kids to get what they want,
I can be a father to my kids and just be there with my mom.

Q: You seem like a man who is grateful for a second chance.

A: I’ve got to be grateful. For what I’ve been through, four years of my career, ups and downs, saying they’re going to
be there with me through thick and thin. I’m very grateful for a second chance.

Q: How long have you stopped smoking marijuana?

A: My last time smoking was right before I got kicked out of Florida, before my last incident happened.


Q: What does it say about your talent level that you’re getting a second chance?

A: They see the talent. They just want to know what kind of kid I am. I came in here to show ‘em I’m not a bad kid,
I made a few mistakes and I learned from ‘em. Everything I did, I did. I’m admitting it. I did it. I’m looking to put that in my past and moving forward.

Demonstrates a lot of ability

Not so much responsibility

If he would avoid the dope like he avoids condoms, his life would improve.

[Teague31]

pass.

[casmith07]

Yeah, the hits just keep on coming for this guy. Four children under the age of four? Not so much that he likes to have sex with girls, but that's all judgment stuff.

And then he's hitting weed while he's got kids? Come on, man.

No thanks. No, no, no. Don't want him.

[TheSport78]

Stay away. Pacman Part Deux!

[Gaede]

Lot of red flags, for sure

Giving the right answers and I trust that he's learned from his past mistakes, but that doesn't mean he's not gonna make different mistakes in the pros.

I believe the guy has changed and I hope he plays well, but I'm not sure I'd take a shot on him in the first round.

[Hoofbite]

Is he trying to keep pace with Cromartie?

I would touch this guy at this point.

The weed is stupid. Lack of judgement.

4 kids under the age of 4 is an even bigger lack of judgement unless he happened to hit a home run and produce quads.

I admire him for owning up and facing the music but he may have dug too big of a hole for some teams to drag him out of.
