Teven Jenkins, offensive lineman for the Bears, is finding his rhythm.
Bears guard Teven Jenkins is solidifying his reputation as perhaps the most skilled offensive lineman of the squad.
After being sidelined for the initial four games due to injury, Jenkins made a commanding comeback in the fifth week against the Commanders, stepping in with no prior practice and seamlessly continuing his previous season's momentum.
What stands out even more is his adaptability across different positions. Jenkins shifted to left guard this season, accommodating the addition of Nate Davis at right guard. However, with Davis out due to an ankle issue, Jenkins had to revert to playing right guard.
These position shifts have not hindered Jenkins' performance; rather, he seems to be excelling more than ever.
Jenkins shared his thoughts on his performance, "I would say I do feel like I'm in a groove," acknowledging his increasing comfort and synergy with teammate Darnell Wright.
His most notable performance to date was in the recent game against the Saints, where he received a 91.1 grade from Pro Football Focus, the highest among all offensive linemen for that week and the peak of his career thus far. Offensive coordinator Luke Getsy has lauded Jenkins, particularly highlighting his contribution to the team's impressive running game.
While Jenkins is making a strong argument for a future contract extension, his challenge has been maintaining his health, as he hasn't completed a full season since his draft in 2021.
Despite the difficulties in finding reliable offensive linemen, General Manager Ryan Poles appears to have a valuable player in Jenkins.
