New York Jets

On February 29, 2008, the Carolina Panthers traded Jenkins to the New York Jets for third- and fifth-round draft picks in the 2008 NFL Draft.[1] The Jets signed Jenkins to a 5-year, $35 million contract extension the same day.

Professional career

Carolina Panthers

Jenkins was selected in the second round of the 2001 NFL Draft by Carolina. He started his rookie campaign slowly, but in his second season turned into a bona-fide superstar.

Jenkins finished the 2002 season with 60 tackles and 7 sacks, en route to an alternate appearance on the NFC's Pro Bowl team, where he replaced an injured Warren Sapp. The following season, he helped the Panthers on their way to Super Bowl XXXVIII. In one game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Jenkins blocked two kicks: a field goal attempt by Martin Gramatica, and an extra point attempt that would have won the game. Jenkins' second block marked the first time that an extra point was blocked to send a game into overtime (Carolina later won the game). Jenkins was rewarded with his first Pro Bowl start, and joined Rucker as half of the NFC's defensive front line.

However, the 2004 NFL season saw Jenkins suffer a shoulder injury in the second game against Kansas City, and he spent the latter half of the season on injured reserve. His injury misfortunes continued during the first game of the 2005 NFL season when he tore his anterior cruciate ligament and was once again placed on injured reserve.

In that season, he may have been the best (or at least most important) defensive player in the NFL.

not convinced. I need to see him eat Tom Brady first.

The Jets never should've gone to the 3-4 in the first place.

I agree they should not have went to a 3-4 without the players to execute it. They should have waited until they had the 3-4 guys on board.

He will eat Tom Brady, in one bite.
