Jenkins Scout.com RSS Engine v1.0 (Server:SODO) 60 In a national conference call previewing the upcoming 2013 NFL Scouting Combine, NFL Network analyst Mike Mayock was asked about the 49ers and what they might be looking for with their top picks in the April draft. Would the Niners shoot high for another wide receiver after taking the seldom-used A.J. Jenkins in the first round last year? What about adding depth to an aging defensive line? http://sfo.scout.com/2/1268164.html 2047 NinersDigest.com staff http://sfo.scout.com/2/1268164.html Tue, 19 Feb 2013 15:00:00 GMT 1 69 San Francisco sfo Hot News for WR A.J. Jenkins http://profootball.scout.com/a.z?s=127&p=9&c=2&cid=1196704&nid=5688575&fhn=1 2047 Aaron Wilson http://profootball.scout.com/a.z?s=127&p=9&c=2&cid=1196704&nid=5688575&fhn=1 Wed, 20 Jun 2012 21:45:42 GMT 0 127 NFL profootball The drastically-improved 49ers' wide receivers corps - particularly the newcomers - have been making a strong impression and developing a quick rapport with quarterback Alex Smith at the Niners' first organized team activity practice sessions of the year this week. http://sfo.scout.com/2/1189205.html 2047 The Sports Xchange http://sfo.scout.com/2/1189205.html Thu, 24 May 2012 16:12:00 GMT 1 69 San Francisco sfo Seventeen of the 18 prospects selected by the 49ers in the NFL draft over the previous two years made the team as rookies, but it will be a little more difficult this time around for the Class of 2012. And even those youngsters who do stick on the roster figure to have a tough time getting on the field this season for the defending NFC West champions. http://sfo.scout.com/2/1183792.html 2047 NinersDigest.com http://sfo.scout.com/2/1183792.html Fri, 04 May 2012 16:42:00 GMT 0 69 San Francisco sfo The 49ers went into the draft wanting to increase their big-play ability and that's exactly what they did with their first two picks. For a team picking near the bottom of every round, the Niners ended up having a rather productive three-day draft excursion. http://sfo.scout.com/2/1182810.html 2047 The Sports Xchange http://sfo.scout.com/2/1182810.html Tue, 01 May 2012 15:47:00 GMT 0 69 San Francisco sfo In the volatile game of draft poker, Trent Baalke and the 49ers are putting their cards on the table and stacking the deck on offense with their top picks. After getting within a game of the Super Bowl last season, the Niners are serious about upgrading their talent on that side of the ball, even if it means making some surprise choices at positions where they already appear considerably stocked. http://sfo.scout.com/2/1181803.html 2047 NinersDigest.com staff http://sfo.scout.com/2/1181803.html Sat, 28 Apr 2012 03:08:00 GMT 0 69 San Francisco sfo While being introduced at 49ers headquarters on Friday, A.J. Jenkins said, “I’m just trying to fit in where I can get in.” So where, exactly, will that be this season for a San Francisco team that has overloaded itself with wide receivers during the offseason in an attempt to upgrade what last year was one of the weakest positions on the team? http://sfo.scout.com/2/1181708.html 2047 Craig Massei http://sfo.scout.com/2/1181708.html Sat, 28 Apr 2012 01:41:00 GMT 1 69 San Francisco sfo For a team that has struggled to win games in recent years, the Fighting Illini football team has enjoyed unprecedented success in the NFL draft. Five Illini have been drafted in the first round the past five years, including two Thursday evening. A.J. Jenkins and Whitney Mercilus shared center stage for the Illini, and no one could be happier about it than Jenkins. http://illinois.scout.com/2/1181550.html 2047 Jack Lyman http://illinois.scout.com/2/1181550.html Fri, 27 Apr 2012 15:29:00 GMT 0 169 Illinois illinois A pick-by-pick analysis of Thursday’s opening round of the 2012 NFL draft and a summary of the eight trades that have shuffled picks so far during the process. http://sfo.scout.com/2/1181507.html 2047 NinersDigest.com staff http://sfo.scout.com/2/1181507.html Fri, 27 Apr 2012 10:18:00 GMT 1 69 San Francisco sfo Moments after the 49ers made him the No. 30 overall selection of the 2012 NFL draft, A.J. Jenkins was left to say, over and over again, “I’m speechless. I’m out of words right now.” That’s how a lot of people felt after the 49ers made the WR out of Illinois their surprise first-round pick, a reach in the eyes of many. But that’s what was being said about San Francisco’s first-round pick last year. http://sfo.scout.com/2/1181491.html 2047 Craig Massei http://sfo.scout.com/2/1181491.html Fri, 27 Apr 2012 03:56:00 GMT 0 69 San Francisco sfo Former Illini football players took advantage of an opportunity to impress NFL scouts Tuesday on campus. They were put through their paces, hoping to demonstrate the athleticism and character traits considered ideal for the professional league. A.J. Jenkins did well at the NFL Combine, but he took this opportunity to show off his receiving skills. http://illinois.scout.com/2/1166311.html 2047 Jack Lyman http://illinois.scout.com/2/1166311.html Sat, 10 Mar 2012 16:02:00 GMT 1 169 Illinois illinois The Fighting Illini football team expected to land more than two players on the All-Big Ten first team, but a six game losing streak pushed several deserving players below that level. However, A.J. Jenkins could not be denied that honor after his tremendous season. http://illinois.scout.com/2/1134701.html 2047 Jack Lyman http://illinois.scout.com/2/1134701.html Thu, 01 Dec 2011 19:22:00 GMT 1 169 Illinois illinois Fighting Illini offensive coordinator Paul Petrino likes to feed the studs. Last year running back Mikel Leshoure was highlighted. This year it is receiver A.J. Jenkins. The Florida senior had his best day as an Illini last Saturday against Northwestern, catching 12 passes for a school record 268 yards and three touchdowns. Jenkins is confident but humble about his success. http://illinois.scout.com/2/1113456.html 2047 Jack Lyman http://illinois.scout.com/2/1113456.html Tue, 04 Oct 2011 00:05:00 GMT 1 169 Illinois illinois Fighting Illini receivers didn't always obtain the recognition they wanted or deserved this season. They toiled anonymously most games, blocking for the Illini running game. Only A.J. Jenkins had the kind of year most receivers crave. He was the featured receiver on a team with inconsistent passing. http://illinois.scout.com/2/1034566.html 2047 Jack Lyman http://illinois.scout.com/2/1034566.html Tue, 28 Dec 2010 14:21:00 GMT 1 169 Illinois illinois From a forgotten man considering transfer to a go-to guy in the Fighting Illini offense in one year. That is the odyssey A.J. Jenkins has traveled. He is glad he put the past behind him, and a new offensive coordinator/receiver coach has given him a new lease on life. Illini coaches, players and fans are excited about his development. http://illinois.scout.com/2/1007141.html 2047 Jack Lyman http://illinois.scout.com/2/1007141.html Wed, 29 Sep 2010 14:20:00 GMT 0 169 Illinois illinois Last year was frustrating for everyone associated with the Illini football program. Things were going wrong, and everyone was looking for answers. Receiver A.J. Jenkins considered a transfer, but he changed his mind and is glad he did. He is now becoming the receiver everyone hoped he would, and he is putting team ahead of self. http://illinois.scout.com/2/984488.html 2047 Jack Lyman http://illinois.scout.com/2/984488.html Sat, 17 Jul 2010 14:03:00 GMT 1 169 Illinois illinois The Fighting Illini football team struggled last season, to say the least. Even when they righted the ship enough to defeat Michigan among their three wins, they couldn't regain their self-respect. A few players considered leaving, and a couple did. A.J. Jenkins decided to stay, and he is glad he did. http://illinois.scout.com/2/962811.html 2047 Jack Lyman http://illinois.scout.com/2/962811.html Fri, 16 Apr 2010 14:38:00 GMT 1 169 Illinois illinois Illinois' freshman wide receiver A. J. Jenkins had his coming out party Saturday, catching 3 passes for 117 yards and two touchdowns. Unfortunately, it was overshadowed by a heartbreaking loss to the Minnesota Gophers. But the hard working Jenkins has a bright future. http://illinois.scout.com/2/800574.html 2047 Jack Lyman http://illinois.scout.com/2/800574.html Mon, 13 Oct 2008 20:03:00 GMT 1 169 Illinois illinois Being from the south and making a trip to the Midwest was definitively a treat for star receiver A.J. Jenkins. Get inside for more on his visit this past weekend as the Illini beat in-state rival Northwestern 41-22. http://illinois.scout.com/2/704402.html 2047 Kedric Prince http://illinois.scout.com/2/704402.html Thu, 22 Nov 2007 14:38:00 GMT 0 169 Illinois illinois Jacksonville (Fla.)
