Mike Jenkins

My statements weren't based on him "toot his own horn"

Mike's statement, in case you missed it here on SR:

"Mike Jenkins I would pass on him at 10. Some team will take him in Round 1, but he plays up and down to the competition and he is a “diva” player on and off the field and wants special treatment from coaches. He has excellent man-to-man cover skills and he physically is well built and fast, but he just doesn’t play hard each week. He can turn out to be the very best of the cornerbacks in this draft or he may be just an average NFL player. That is part of his makeup."


Form your own opinion, I have mine.

No I have read the statement. And I stated my opinion. Let me clarify, I have not seen an elite caliber CB in the NFL that does not feel he is a prima donna since Deon make it popular to act in such a way. My definition of a prima dona or diva:

He is confident and sometime full of himself. Expect others to treat him this way. Like to tout himself, talk about himself in the third person, i.e toot his own horn. He thinks he is all-world. It is all the same. Diva, prima donna, whatever you want to call it, the majority of the elite cornerbacks have a similar attitude. And Mike Jenkins probably is the same way. That does not guarantee him success in the NFL though.
