I read an article where he said as much. It isn't rumor. I get that he's learned his lesson and I'm not worried about him for the upcoming season. But I wish for an institutionalized standard that nothing less than 100% is accepted. Ok, so Jordan Jenkins learned his lesson, what about the next guy. Does he have to go through a sophomore slump to realize he needs to work harder? I think that's a legitimate question that falls on leadership, especially player leadership. Just throwing thoughts out there. Not trying to argue.

Good article, I missed that one.

Also, on the not-enough-sacks front...

To be fair, it wasn’t a terrible season for Jenkins. He is tied for the team lead in tackles forloss with 11. In fact, he was a second-team All-SEC selection by the coaches -- an honor that Jenkins admitted was a surprise. Read more here: LINK

The scheme was a little different in 2013 with a whole new defense. Jenkins wasn't set loose like a wild animal to go after the qb on every play, like Jarvis and Clowney were. His job was basically a traditional DE, but at outside linebacker, job #1 is contain, hold the edge, and he did a hell of a job at it. That's why he got 2nd team All SEC in his first year starting on the heels of Jarvis Jones.
