The New York Giants have struggled against the pass all season and have one of the worst secondaries in all of football, but don’t tell that to cornerback Janoris Jenkins, who is feeling quite confident going into a matchup against Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers.
Jenkins held an impromptu Twitter Q&A on Thanksgiving Day and one of the questions he received was in regards to Sunday’s game and his likely assignment of shadowing wide receiver Davante Adams.
The Jackrabbit said his goal was simple: cover Adams and don’t let him score.
Jenkins, who’s had an up and down season, was immediately trolled by several frustrated fans, but he refused to back down.
At one point, a fan guaranteed that Adams will score on Jenkins in Week 13, which prompted a very confident and to-the-point tweet from No. 20.
Ironically, these situations usually propel Jenkins to a solid performance. When he’s publicly doubted, he often steps up his game and reminds everyone that he’s capable of being a lockdown corner.
Will that happen on Sunday against Rodgers, Adams & Co.? Time will tell, but as Jenkins alludes, don’t bet against him.
