The San Francisco 49ers have finally announced a four-year contract with first-round draft choice A.J. Jenkins.

While at Florida, he effectively covered the likes of Julio Jones and Alshon Jeffery, receivers who were several inches taller and far thicker than Jenkins. Jenkins loses very little speed when cutting and gets into good position when defending deep passes. He can jump routes in front of him and undercuts routes over the middle of the field.

Isaiah Pead
Isaiah Pead has an initial step out of his stance that is comparable to some of the best backs currently in the league. He hits the hole explosively and gets up to top speed quickly, which allows him to get upfield and find a seam without getting touched - After destroying two-time Heisman Trophy winner Archie Griffin’s 35-year old high school record by rushing for 2,204 yards (Griffin had 1,787) and 39 touchdowns as a senior at Eastmoor Academy in Columbus, Ohio, Pead’s abilities were hardly a secret as he entered college. Using exceptional bursts of straightaway speed, he kept right on running in at Cincinnati, where he started 26 of his 44 games, carried 545 times for 3,288 yards (6.03 per carry) and 27 touchdowns and caught 87 passes for 721 yards.
