If there’s any one outside linebacker in the 2016 draft that has flown under the radar its Georgia Bulldogs’ OLB Jordan Jenkins.

Jenkins brings a good set of skills to the table including the ability to put his hand in the dirt and rush the passer when needed. He weighs in at around 250 pounds and would be considered as a hybrid edge rusher.

The one thing that Jenkins will need to show to scouts is if he can adequately handle himself in coverage. Jenkins wasn’t asked to do a lot of that while at UGA and might be asked to do so in the NFL. Jenkins is a very athletic 21-year-old and would be a nice pick up for the Falcons in the fourth round.
