DB Malcolm Jenkins (All B1G, All-American, Thorpe Award, All-Pro, 2x Super Bowl Champion)

A memory from way back, also relevant to Malcolm... and maybe eventually political:

It was Election Day, and Jim Tressel has a policy -- preferred by Ohio State President E. Gordon Gee -- not to endorse any candidate for public office. But when asked yesterday what player on his team he could back in a hypothetical run, the coach did not hesitate with an answer.

“You know what? Malcolm Jenkins,” Tressel said.

Then Tressel jumped right into a stump speech for this senior cornerback.

“Malcolm Jenkins is a unifying guy,” Tressel said. “When he practices football, he demands out of the scout team they do it (with energy), and he demands it out of himself.

“And when football is over, he’s on the campus doing things. He’s not just staying in his own little world. He makes sure that the whole campus knows who he is, and he’s there to help and all those things.

“I would vote for Malcolm Jenkins.”
