Buckeyes in the NFL
By Scott Dame

Michael Jenkins has been one of the lone bright spots for the 1-6 Vikings.

The eighth-year receiver, who played for Leto High School in Tampa, leads Minnesota with 332 receiving yards and three receiving touchdowns. He is tied for the lead with Percy Harvin with 27 receptions.

In a 33-27 loss to the Packers on Sunday, Jenkins hauled in three passes for 111 yards and one touchdown from rookie quarterback Christian Ponder, who was making his first career start.  

Jenkins is the only top Buckeye in the NFL this week because there weren’t many great performances and many teams were idle.
