Kris Jenkins Up To 309
Interesting, considering he was 285 last year and he came in at 260/265.
Prediction? This signals a Graham/Jenkins/Benny lineup rather than a Grant/Graham/Jenkins starting lineup.
Not that Grant won't come on for Benny on run downs, but with the concerted effort to put 25 lbs on Jenkins, one would assume that he will spend the majority of his time inside next to Graham.
Personally, I like it, we need more interior pass rush and Graham and Jenkins inside will wreck havoc. That should free up Benny and the two EDGE players a little more.

He already carries weight really well, that’s 300 lbs of mutant strength.
User photo checks out.
That’s 309 lbs to you and me.
All weight gain is good.
Also, all weight loss is good.
Don’t forget that no change in weight is just conversion of fat to muscle.
The first rule of spring football
All weight gain is muscle mass meaning increased strength. All weight loss is baby fat meaning increased speed.

Repping Ruth's Cris as part of his NIL seems to be key in his weight gain. /s
Kriszilla is fully operational.
That's the old Kris. This is the new Kris...
He's got a powerful base and plays with a nasty disposition.
Having this kind of depth in the trenches on both sides of the ball has always been the way. It's glorious.
This is the way.
Weight Gain 4000 works. Beefcake, beefcaaake!
I went to elementary school with his dad and uncle for a few years before they moved. Also played on the teeball team with both of them... next time I'm home visiting I'll need to look for the team picture in the basement. Their dad (Kris Jr's grandpa) was the coach and was also just a mountain of a human. It's incredible the strength of the Jenkins genetics (Jenetics perhaps).
Now I'm not saying I'm solely responsible for the families football talent, but for Kris Sr's 6th birthday, I gifted him a nerf football at the party... so I think I deserve some credit.
Joking aside, anyone interested in who really deserves all of the credit should read this article on Kris Jr's grandpa: Father did know best, and Jenkins family succeeded
Great piece, thx for sharing.
That is a great piece - thanks. Amazing the power of positive role models.
Natty Mother F#%ker!!!!
Okay, I’ve been drinking.
What have you been drinking...Mother F#%ker?
wreak havoc
…and cause great harm.
He looked big as hell in the spring game. And it didn't look like bad weight. This doesn't surprise me. Good genes, obviously.
Ben Herbert makes me confident this is nuclear powered land monster city leveling weight.

I don't think this really signals anything. 285 is still on the lighter side for an interior lineman, so getting to 309 should help if it's good weight
Anything over 300 on the interior is a must. Watching what Graham did as a freshman makes me believe that a year older and probably stronger, that he’s gonna require double teams and a lot of game planning by the O. If he progresses the way it seems he will than we could be looking at a 1st round draft pick in a couple years. Not to mention, dam near unblock-able.
