It's really great of New Orleans Saints safety Malcolm
Jenkins to host a football camp in New Jersey to help 200 kids learn
football and have fun. It's free for all the kids, and Jenkins does it
out of the goodness of his heart.
I'd hope you wouldn't think poorly of one of the campers if he humiliated Jenkins at his own camp.
As described by Roman Harper on Twitter (Harper, James Laurinaitis and Larry Fitzgerald
were all in attendance, too), Jenkins ended up going one-on-one against
a high school kid named Dajon Foat of Piscataway High School. Foat ran
routes against Jenkins, best out of three, with the winner getting the
cleats right off the other guy's feet.
According to Harper, on the first play, Jenkins knocked the ball
down. Jenkins 1, Dajon 0. On the second play, the kid made a catch in
the back of the end zone. Jenkins 1, Dajon 1. Here is the third and
deciding play:
Oooooh. BURNT. Dajon 2, Jenkins 1. Hand over those cleats, Malcolm.
How's that for a trophy for a high school
football player? He can go home and put Malcolm Jenkins' cleats on his
wall. Congratulations, young man.
Congratulations to Jenkins, too. Not only is he putting on the camp
for everyone, but he's truly engaged in it (obviously), and out there
making sure everyone has a good time. I believe one camper in particular
will remember the camp a little more fondly than anyone else.
Gracias, NFL.com.
