Saints Safety Malcolm Jenkins is Still Helping Out Eagles Defensive Backs in Ultimate Classy Veteran Move
By Michael Luciano
Malcolm Jenkins might have left the Philadelphia Eagles ahead of the 2020 season for the New Orleans Saints, but it's obvious he still has a piece of his heart in the City of Brotherly Love.
With Rodney McLeod at free safety, the Eagles will use a combination of converted cornerback Jalen Mills, newcomer Will Parks, and rookie K'Von Wallace to replace him. Jenkins spent his spare time giving Parks some tips and tricks when it comes to understanding Jim Schwartz's defense.
Jenkins, who played the first five seasons of his career in New Orleans, is linking back up with Sean Payton after six seasons as an Eagle. In those seasons, Jenkins made three Pro Bowls and won himself a championship.
Jenkins, perhaps feeling indebted to the organization that helped him see so much success both personally and as a part of a championship unit, is giving Parks and company the tools to take to Schwartz's defense easier.
Jenkins is exactly the type of veteran you want in the locker room. He is more than willing to pass on his knowledge of the game in any way he can. Guys like him don't come around too often.
