Dad’s Take on Kris Jenkins
*adjusts reading glasses and squints at card* Look at this guy posing like he's about to ask me if I want fries with that order! Standing there in his pristine white jersey looking all polite and professional – back in my day, defensive tackles looked like they wrestled bears for breakfast, not like they'd help you carry your groceries to the car. The Bengals are paying good money for someone who looks like he'd apologize after sacking the quarterback!
About Kris Jenkins
Jenkins delivered a sack in the second quarter of a preseason game against the Bears in 2024. He called it a steppingstone to bigger and better things. "It was a pretty cool moment, but I feel like I have stuff to work on, and to get happy over one sack, I won't," he said. "I'm not a finished product."

The Bengals targeted Jenkins because of the tackle's ability to make a difference on the field and in the locker room. "He checks all the boxes on that," said defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo. "He's done a bunch of different jobs on the field. Been a captain. Brings leadership. Like everything about him."
