Former Eagles safety Malcolm Jenkins retires after 13 years in the NFL

PHILADELPHIA — Malcolm Jenkins is walking away from football.

The former Eagles safety and two-time Super Bowl champion announced his retirement Wednesday, ending a 13-year career in which he spent six seasons with the Eagles and seven with the New Orleans Saints.

Jenkins, 34, was drafted by the Saints in the first round of the 2009 NFL draft and spent five seasons there before signing with the Eagles. The best years of his career came after signing with the team. From 2014 to 2019, the Piscataway, N.J., native was regarded as one of the best safeties in the league, became an instrumental leader, and went to three Pro Bowls.
