Tyrone Jenkins brings veteran ball skills to Rhode Island’s secondary
Tyrone Jenkins is a seasoned defensive back for Rhode Island whose calling card is playmaking and reliability in coverage: in the 2014 season, he finished with 22 tackles and earned a memorable interception return touchdown, showing he can flip a game in an instant[2][6]. That kind of instincts-first profile matters because he offers more than raw numbers—he has shown timing, toughness, and a knack for showing up in big moments, which is exactly what you want from a cornerback[6]. ESPN still lists him as a Rhode Island defensive back, reinforcing his profile as an established presence in the Rams’ secondary[1].
