I had no way of knowing Jenkins had a back injury.

It's often the stuff we don't know that makes us miss on a prospect.

Very true. I thought he was an odd selection for the Bears anyway since they needed a LT and he never really got to be the full time LT at Oklahoma State, as he mainly played RT. Anyway, I hope the kid is able to rebound, but as someone who has had back issues most of my adult life, in many cases, it's not one of those injuries that seems to ever completely go away. There is a certain amount of pain tolerance that you need to get through for the rest of your life. I wish him the best.
I have been fortunate enough to avoid back issues...but I know they can absolutely derail careers.

Charles Haley's career ended primarily due to back issues.  Michael Cheever's career ended before it began due to back issues.

I hope he's (Jenkins) able to rebound too.  I think he's a heckuva prospect.
 

Worst to 1st.  Curse Reversed!
