Summary:

Janoris Jenkins is the most talented CB prospect I have ever viewed.  He is as close to Darrelle Revis as one can get.  His ability to mirror receivers and cut off their routes, deflect the ball, and beat the receiver to the ball make him a shut down CB.  Though on the short side he is very muscular and powerful.  This power allows him to alter WR’s routes in the red zone and make up for his height.  He is very solid against the run.
