The full breakdown

Jenkins finished at an even 60.0 replacement level after logging neutral grades on 20 of his 23 snaps. His run defense fluctuated across three key downs, starting in Q1 (04:12) when he was reached and washed laterally on an outside zone run for a 13-yard gain. He flashed positive technique in Q4 (13:23) by holding the point of attack, shedding the guard, and helping bring down Jaylen Warren. However, he followed that up in Q4 (07:39) by failing to squeeze the interior lane against Ryan Hoffman on an inside zone run, canceling out his earlier positive play.
