Greg Jenkins (#10)-

The 6′ 1″, 208 pound WR out of Alabama State was signed to the Oakland Raiders as an undrafted free agent in 2013.  At the end of Training Camp in 2013, a decision had to be made between keeping Andre Holmes and releasing Greg Jenkins or vice versa.  You know the outcome.  So Jenkins was signed to the practice squad until he was elevated to the active roster in November of 2013.

This kid is fast, and, if he has been able to develop his hands, he will prove to be a fine slot WR.  He is an awesome tool to have in 4 and 5 WR splits, because his straight line speed is incredible.  Another thing the Jenkins has been good at is returning the ball on Special Teams.  In 2014, I wouldn’t be surprised if Jenkins is our returner.  Seeing him in person really makes you want to see more.  I will be pulling for him to make the team this year as one of my underdog picks.
