Did Malcolm Jenkins Retire? How Many Pro Bowls Was Malcolm Jenkins In?

Malcolm Jenkins announced his retirement on Wednesday after 13 NFL seasons.

He was a first-round pick by New Orleans in 2009 and played five seasons there before joining the Eagles as an unrestricted free agent in 2014 and then finishing his final two campaigns with the Saints.

As good as Jenkins was on the field with his incredible durability – the only snaps he missed in six regular seasons with the Eagles came during the cool-down period in 2017 after the Eagles clinched the No. 1 seed in the playoffs.

With his versatility as a rangy free safety, a hard-hitting strong safety, a hybrid linebacker, and a cover cornerback, he was every bit as good the instant he took off his shoulder pads.

“In so many ways, Malcolm Jenkins defined everything we want a Philadelphia Eagles to be. He was talented, intelligent, versatile, and reliable. He was physically and mentally tough. He led with his words, with his actions, and with the professionalism he brought every single day to our building,” Chairman and CEO Jeffrey Lurie said.

“He never took a single snap off – not in a game and not in a practice. Few players have ever had a personality and a style of play that meshed more perfectly with the City of Philadelphia.

“He contributed to so many memorable moments during his six years in Philadelphia, including our first Super Bowl Championship, he added.
