VIDEO: Remembering Malcolm Jenkins Absolutely Hit-Sticking Brandin Cooks in Eagles-Patriots Super Bowl
By Brady Williams
Folks in Philly will NEVER forget the unreal Super Bowl win over the Patriots in 2018. It was one of the most iconic games in NFL history, with plays like the "Philly Special" becoming instant classics. On defense, though, have you forgotten about Malcolm Jenkins' incredible hit on Brandin Cooks? Please, if you have, allow us to refresh your memory.
WOW. What a hit by the star safety. While Jenkins would have been flagged, no doubt, in today's game, that wasn't the case a couple years back. He lowered his shoulder and laid the lumber on the former Pats receiver.
Both players have found new homes, as Jenkins is now with the Saints, and Cooks was once again traded, this time to the Texans. While it might hurt Philly fans to see Jenkins in a new uniform, he'll forever be an Eagles legend.

He played all over the field on D. Never missed a game in 6 years with Eagles. Played on special teams. Was a leader. Stood up for social injustice that he believed in. Great pro
