| 49ers sign first-rounder A.J. Jenkins by Aaron Wilson of Scout.com, June 20, 2012 at 5:45 pm ET A.J. Jenkins Profile The San Francisco 49ers have signed first-round wide receiver A.J. Jenkins to a four-year contract. The deal is worth roughly $6.9 million and includes a signing bonus of over $3.4 million. Jenkins was drafted 30th overall out of Illinois. Jenkins reportedly struggled at offseason minicamps and organized team activities. Jenkins has good size and speed at 6-foot, 190 pounds, running a 4.39 in the 40-yard dash at the NFL scouting combine. He also posted a 38 1/2 inch vertical leap, a 10-4 broad jump and bench pressed 225 pounds a dozen times. At his campus Pro Day workout, Jenkins registered a 4.12 in the 20-yard shuttle and a 6.73 in the three-cone drill. The All-Big Ten Conference wide receiver led the conference with 84 catches for 1,194 yards and seven touchdowns last season. He caught 56 passes for 749 yards and seven touchdowns as a junior. Jenkins was a blue-chip recruit who chose Illinois over Florida, Florida State, Miami and South Carolina and played immediately as a true freshman. Follow me on Twitter: @RavensInsider |
