One of the best Ohio State defensive backs to ever suit up in the scarlet and gray is retiring from football after 13 fantastic seasons. The former consensus All-American and Jim Thorpe Award winner in college went to the NFL as a first-round draft pick and was named to three Pro-Bowls and won two Super Bowls, one with the Saints and one with the Eagles.
There was no mistaking that Jenkins was on the tail-end of his career, but his retirement that was annouced on “The Pivot” podcast podcast did come as a bit of a surprise.
Buckeye Nation and many others in the game of football were quick to react on Twitter in remembering his playing days and congratulating him such a long, illustrious career.
Here are some of the best Twitter reactions to Jenkins deciding to hang up the cleats.
