Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel was unable to hold back emotions after the game when talking about Jenkins, shortly after telling his team of his death.
The coach raved about everything, ranging from Jenkins’ work ethic to his to professionalism to his wardrobe.
He said;
“This was a healthy, healthy guy that just brought it every day. … Just full of life,” a teary McDaniel said. “That’s the hardest part. There’s just no words to describe. He has a great family. His wife’s awesome, and his children. It’s tough. It’s a tough one to swallow. He will be missed. He will not be forgotten, I can tell you that much.”
