Jenkins, Receiver
An undrafted rookie, Darnell Jenkins is intriguing the
Texans with his speed at the receiver position.
He bounced back from a torn ACL in 2006 to finish with
31 catches for 619 yards and two touchdowns as a senior
for the Miami Hurricanes. Jenkins had three 100-yard
receiving games in his final year.
The Texans have four solid receivers, but if a newcomer
can impress on special teams and fit well into the
offense, he could earn his way onto the team.
Jenkins also will be eligible for the practice squad.
Along with playing football, Jenkins was a member of
Miami's indoor track and field team. He graduated in
December 2006 with a degree in liberal arts and is
pursuing a second degree in sociology.
