Drafted by the Baltimore Ravens in the second round of the 2014 NFL Draft out of Florida State, Jernigan was traded to the Philadelphia Eagles along with the 99th overall pick in the 2017 NFL Draft in exchange for the Eagles’ 74th pick in the draft.

Jernigan’s career was derailed by injury after signing a massive contract extension with the Eagles three years ago.
