Malcolm Jenkins is a career quality starter — a defensive back whose body of work places Jenkins in the top quarter of all players at the position historically. The Knox model values sustained contribution over flash, and Jenkins's career arc reflects exactly that kind of reliable professional-grade performance.
A high-end defensive back defined as much by exceptional availability — almost never missed time as by their on-field impact (top 20% all-time). Coaches and teammates could count on them being available.
Worth 138 points of value above a freely-available replacement safety — top 16% of all 4,649 ranked at the position. 12 of 13 seasons cleared the replacement bar, by +11.5 on average.See board →
