Jenkins played college football in Atlanta for the Morris Brown Wolverines and was not selected in the 1974 NFL draft. He received a tryout and signed with the WFL's Birmingham Americans. He scored 14 touchdowns and caught 62 passes for 1,471 yards while helping the Americans win the WFL's only championship that season. After the Americans folded, Jenkins signed with the Falcons on April 9, 1975.[2] He became a mainstay at wide receiver, starting every game in each of his NFL seasons (with the exception of 1978, in which he played only one game before suffering a broken collarbone). Jenkins led the NFL in receiving yards (1,358) and receiving touchdowns (13) in the 1981 season.[3]
