Having kids is never an issue but not being honest and hiding the fact that u have 3 kids by different mothers is also this shows recklessness b4 he has even gotten into the league so u have to wonder if it will get worse once he makes millions soon.

I’m just happy my tax dollars take care of his kids while he smokes weed with him homes and trains for the NFL.

Hey lolb23, F you and your tax money. I suppose, you’d rather have “your tax money” buying bombs to kill innocent kids, than to feed them – idiot !!! This is a football forum, not stormfront.

That said, I would not draft him, unless he stayed around to the middle of the draft. Strictly as a business based decision, he’s too risky.

Seems to me the first step in doing a background check would be a websearch – surely some newspaper article about the high school star mentioned his kid(s). Or maybe the paper printed a birth announcement(s).

Then you do a simple public records search. In minutes you know if he has ever been arrested or if he shows up on any birth certificates.

Did they even do that much? They certainly should have.

When is having kids a red flag, shouldn’t teams be asking can he help my team and is he mature enough to handle the NFL

@howiehandles… just to add to your valid point, if he makes a lot of money on his contract, he’s going to spend A LOT of time in court because of child support and he may also pull a Cromartie, i.e. ask for a portion of his salary up front for said child support.

“This is the red flag on Jenkins’ past that may scare off the most NFL teams.”

why? i would see his run-ins with the law as a bigger issue, since more incidents could affect his availability on Sundays (or Mondays, Thursdays and Saturdays). who cares if he has a few kids already?

Perhaps the state should garnish his wages pre-emptively. Yes an 18 year trust fund for each of his offspring. Otherwise we are going to be paying for them.

“if im not mistaken, travis henry is up to 11 kids… his most recent transaction was twins”

That’s too bad that he had twins. The only way he would end his perfect record of new baby mama for each new baby. Certainly there must be some extenuating circumstances in a case like this.

If and this is a big IF, the twins are identical, there should be an asterisk, as these kids were from the same fertilized egg that happened to split. Come on, can’t blame Travis Henry for that, in my eyes, he’s 10 for 10 and this record is not tainted.

stop with the cromartie comparisons. this kid is a walking red flag. my guess is that the bengals pick him up, theyre the only team who picks up guys like this. his 2nd chance college coach comes out and says jenkins didnt tell him about a major factor that may scare off some NFL teams?! thats crazy man!

Antonio Cromartie, Travis Henry, and Janoris Jenkins could make a full football team with all the kids they’ve had out of wedlock. The Compton Illegitimates.

Flat out not worth a risk in any round. You would think he would have learned about personal responsibility with the 1st baby, but then a 2nd, 3rd and 4th. He has no regard for reponsibility. Of course, he may go to school, play ball, work several jobs or is independendtly wealthy. In which case, he is more reponsible than I give him credit for, but I doubt it. My guess is he is exactly what most people think he is. I would really like to see his wonderlic score. I could be wrong on this guy, but the NFL wont be. If he lied in any of the interviews, the word will get around. The last thing the NFL needs is another Pacman. If these statements appear bigoted, they are not intended as such, but when you see the same behavior over and over the odds are that it is a young black male from a broken home in an impoverished area, and his upbringing or lack of upbringing has damned him to his eventual fate. 10 kids with no father, prison before 26 if lucky and death before 30. The salary CAP has little room for gambling on someone who does not learn.

Little known comedian Corey Holcomb used to have a good joke….”I’m so ghetto I have two five year olds and they ain’t twins”.

I have to imagine, having 4 kids “under the age of 4″ applies here.

I hate to tell you this, but I live in Florence, AL home of North Alabama and Terry Bowden is not here anymore. He is now the head coach of Akron as of December 22, 2011.

I’m not saying he does not make bad decisions. I was just pointing out he’s not a bad teammate or abrasive personality. No doubt he’s made some idiotic decisions.

I wonder what its like to be so stupid as to have that many kids, with that many different women, by that age. It’s not like anyone actually intends to set up franchises, its just a matter of self control, and some of these dead beat dad’s dont have any. Atleast pull it out first you airhead.

Jenkins has 4 kids by 3 women, which is amateur hour compared to Henry and his rare 9-by-9.

Hey Gator2006 seeing you know so much about him can you tell me who the mother of his 4 children is or at least tell us are the kids from just one woman?

Telling someone else to show respect for a person does not explain his life decisions what so ever…

They’re kids. I don’t talk to people in interviews about how many children I have. It’s nobodies business unless I say so…”

Your employer is also not paying you what this guy is going to get paid. I’ve never been asked about my kids in an interview, and I’ve been on my share of them. They’re looking for character flaws due to the massive investment they’re making in these guys. This is a huge flaw.

Even though my team needs a CB, I wouldn’t bother with idiot. There’s no word of him supporting his kids at all, so all he cares about is himself.

I mean, how does a first round draft pick get kicked off an SEC team, outside of murder?

This guy has trouble written all over him. I’d take him off my draft board, unless he fell to me in about the 4th round.
