“Where in the book do it say you can’t have kids? It doesn’t say that in the law.”

Several problems with this statement: first of all, this is supposed to be a college graduate, he should speak like one!

Second, there is a law in the book that says not to smoke pot, but since he has completely disregarded that, would it matter if there were an actual law about having multiple children from multiple women?

Sadly, his utter infatuation with himself and how great he is, is a disgrace to the Florida Gators Football team and school. This guy had so much promise and chose to put drug use as his top priority. Even after getting a free pass from Urban Meyer. Proof that entitlement was the rule of law, under him.

Would love for the Detroit Lions to draft this guy, he what he does (which play at a high level), on the football field. In a perfect world are kids would have had one mother (that choice could have been different). The smoking can stop, coaches should stress that more, check in some states it’s legal.

Jenkins just go ask Sam herd or Ricky Williams what happened to their careers dealing with drugs. Don’t know too much about Sam but Ricky, he was the best RB since sanders and smith. He missed wasted around 3 nfl seasons because he could quite get a handle on marijuana, he could have broken records had he played in those times but even the great players gave issues. I could name a lot of great athletes who’ve gotten in trouble with the league and just not getting it, so don’t think for one minute that you’re gonna just come to the nfl and continue to do the same or you’re be out faster than you can get drafted. My advice to you, just leave the marijuana alone, don’t have any more kids and most important, take care of the ones you have, show them theres more to life than just getting high

A great father who is there when they need him ??? Really! I am sure he goes into their room, a night, when they are crying, sick or scared, being sure they are warm, eating well, visits with his kids teachers, takes, them to the doctor, plays ball and has a family dinner each and every evening and so on. Sure !!!! You all know that you and I will be taking care of his kids.

Until he makes money in the NFL, who is supporting his kids? The taxpayer is who!

Typical, irresponsible piece of excrement. Has four kids with three different women. Wow, what a guy. When he crashes and burns, I suppose we’ll be told that he had some “issues” in his life. Issues like no personal responsibility.

to the ppl saying who cares if he smokes pot, its not a big deal and everyone does it….these guys are going to be getting PAID to be professional athletes…these teams have a lot invested in their players and its the players job to be the best they can be….that means no use of illegal drugs, it doesnt matter for joe blow who works behind a deak to do it, but would u want ur er doctor or pilot to be high? of course not..they are held to a different standard bc they get paid the big bucks…same with pro athletes…if they dont want to do things the right way there are plenty of guys out there who dont make it to the next level that would love the chance and gladly give up weed…i agree that once in a while in the offseason prob wont make a bit of difference, but its a matter of knowing ur role and living up to the hype that u put out there…u think anyone is going to want Michael Dyer after he openly admitted he was smoking pot constantly at AU and it caused him to be late to meetings and miss events…no…ur a grown ass man, act like it…

“Those incidents led Jenkins to leave Florida and transfer to North Alabama”

He didn’t leave…his stupid ass was kicked out.

Hey, Ryan Mallett feel from being a 1st round talent to the 3rd round last year and lost millions in the process. And because of stuff not nearly as life-affecting as Jenkins.
Evaluators knocked him down in part because of a public intoxication arrest four years earlier when he was a Freshman at Michigan. No kidding.
So let’s not act like Jenkin’s situation is so different.
As we’ve seen with that slug Antonio Cromartie, having a slew of kids…that he may or may not want in his new life…can certainly become an issue for the team.
The most damaging thing for this guy are the reports that nothing really changed at No. Alabama. Still doing the same stuff that got him in trouble in Gainesville.

“Where do it say” LMAO, a degree from a southern school like Florida or N. Alabama [Alabama, Auburn too for the record] is the equivalent of a GED…earned in Mexico

@catquick. He ws talking about laws here in the US – not Sharia law.

Look. He’s a very good football player who’s also a knucklehead. Most scouts says JJ is a good guy but, like many other good guys, he has trouble setting and enforcing boundaries.

Ultimately, if JJ ends up on a team with good leadership and a solid front office, JJ’s production should be very good. First purchase should be a VERY solid criminal and family law attorney!

As a certified, experienced Substance Abuse Counselor I have worked with hundreds of marijuana smoking mothers who said, “I thought I was a good mother until I got clean. Now I realize I was not nearly as good of a mother as I thought I was. Marijuana was more important to me than my kids.”

“I’m their when they need me” – No Mr Jenkins, you’re really not. Being a father isn’t a part time job. Pot now, but lets see what kind of trouble this kid can get into after he gets money. – I just hope my Bengals stay away from him.

Hope he can spell child support! At this rate he might be able to have enough kids for his own football team

Actually. it does say in the law you cannot fornicate or commit adultry. Its just that no one obeys the law anymore, but it is illegal.

You could still be a turd outside of being a good father.

I know a dad or two who are complete bums, but for the fact that they do everything they can for their kids.

I’m beginning to question how much pot he smokes.

Studies have shown smoking marijuana slows down the capabilities of sperm. In essence while said smoker is getting high and baked, the person’s sperm is feeling the same thing slowing down and reducing its potency.

Now, if dude smoked as much ganja as is being projected, he shouldn’t have been able to make that many kids.

Yeah great father you have three kids while in college and you can’t work per the NCAA. Let me guess the taxpayer paid for the mothers housing, food, utilities,etc. Hey Jenkins you think that you would repay the taxpayers after you sign your contract. Doubt it

This guy….. Goodness gracious. I don’t care about your stance on legalization. All I know is that according to US (not to mention NCAA&NFL) laws, pot is illegal! While I do believe its a waste of police time and money to search out potheads, the aforementioned sports leagues are well within their rights to test and suspend accordingly. Therein lies the issue…. How are you gonna support those kids when getting fined and suspended? Great Father? You’re unwilling to give up drugs for their benefit. You’re a loser Sir! So to summarize… Having children is NOT illegal. Doing drugs IS illegal. “hey hey hey. Smoke weed everyday!”…. Indeed!

Smoke up Mr Jenkins. I’m pulling for this guy to be great. He’s a great football player who likes to roast a bone every once in a while, big deal, I thought we moved past this.

I don’t care if the guy smokes weed. I do care about his ability to be a father, as opposed to his ability to father children. As a past foster parent with three adopted children, I understand the difference. Do you?

Yes, most college kids go to school to be bred or to breed. LOL. Most universities are most baby factories.

Can’t wait to see how willing and great of a dad he’ll be when the wages get garnished.

Most who have four kids also support them, so we will see how this plays out with having with numerous women. I forgot it was while you were playing college football, so I guess it all goes away since now you want to play in the NFL. Watch out women.

By: jeziyo247

jeziyo247 — Tue, 24 Apr 2012 00:52:01 +0000

Jenkins, if you are a so call great father, ask yourself this, do you think its responsible to smoke when you know its not allow in college or nfl? You’re showing your kids its ok to break the rules, not to mention your poor judgement in having 4 kids by 3 women. You sound like a kid who does things just because everybody else does it. You rather smoke weed and risk your nfl career for a high, yeah what a great father you are
