MOBILE, ALA.

-- Former Georgia linebacker Jordan Jenkins turned some heads during the week of practice leading up to the today's Senior Bowl game, which is set for 2:30 p.m.

Jenkins, who's playing strongside linebacker for the South team, impressed NFL Network's draft analyst Mike Mayock. He represented by Chicago-based agent Fletcher Smith.

“The guy I like is that Jenkins cat from Georgia,” Mayock said. “Everybody talks about Leonard Floyd, who’s a heck of a player, but man, that Jenkins kid is overlooked because of the position that he had to play for Georgia. I think he’s going to be a better NFL player than a college player. Get him out there in space a little bit and let him show off. I like him.”
