A true hybrid performer, Jenkins thrived in his STAR role, making three Pro Bowls, and also taking on a key leadership role during the Eagles Super Bowl run. - - List - - Jeffrey Lurie: Eagles to debut black helmets in 2022, Kelly Green uniforms in 2023 - - - - - - - - List - - 15 biggest salary cap hits for the Eagles in 2022 after first wave of NFL free agency - - - - - - - - RelatedEagles-Colts overtime proposal allowing both teams a possession passed by NFL ownersEagles are really excited about young cornerbacks on the roster opposite Darius SlayFormer Eagles LB Genard Avery to sign with the SteelersLions to be featured on HBO's 'Hard Knocks' in 2022Eagles’ QB coach to get an up-close look at Sam Howell during UNC pro day - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Eagles Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Eagles Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.
