49ers receiver A.J. Jenkins finds himself at a crossroads, early in his career. To stay on the path of NFL football, the 2012 first-round pick needs to find a way to act like a guy who has had the success that, to date, Jenkins hasn’t enjoyed.

Chris Mortensen of ESPN reports that the 49ers believe Jenkins has talent, but that he lacks confidence and “swag.”

And, yes, Mort actually said “swag” on the air.

If Jenkins doesn’t develop confidence and/or “swag” soon, he may not be an NFL player much longer.

Maybe he’ll have swag when he’s playing for the L.A. KISS.
