Kris Jenkins recaps his 2024 combine workout with Kimmi Chex

. Joined here by Mr. Chris Jenkins, defensive tackle, national champion of the Michigan Wolverines. Welcome back to Indianapolis. You won a Big Ten championship here just a few months ago as well. But it’s all about the combine. How do you feel about today slash this week? I mean, it feels amazing.

You know the second we got here this is something you dream, you dream for as a kid. So you know, now that we’re actually here living in this moment, you know it’s amazing. Let’s take a look back at your day. Absolutely. I know maybe you saw it on

Twitter, but this is this on the big screen. Your workout. How did you feel about running and the drills you did on the field? I felt great, especially after my second rep running today. You know, I felt like I did some good stuff. You know, I wouldn’t

Say I had a perfect day, but, you know, it was amazing getting to show my skills, showing my stuff and, you know, work with a lot of amazing freak athletes today. So, you know, it’s been a great day. Loved every second of it. Have you been able to soak

It in? This week is so crazy. From the interviews to the prep to the on field drills, has it kind of hit you yet or. No, not even I mean, it’s a surreal moment. I mean, you know, like you like I said, you’re a kid and, you know, you see all these

Coaches and players on TV and now that you’re here, you’re living in this moment. You’re trying to make a name for yourself, and you’re meeting with all these coaches and, you know, you’re doing all these drills that you’ve seen. So it’s really a surreal moment. So, you

Know, it just kind of hits you a little hard. But you know you just got to push through it. Do your thing. Right before we started you had a little FaceTime with your dad. And it’s because the NFL DNA quite literally runs through your family, both your dad and your

Uncle played in the league. Your dad for ten seasons. Seasons Any advice he gave you ahead of this week? Uh, no. He just told me, you know, to be a dog. That’s the advice he’s always given me. You know, be a dog. You know, be myself. And you know, he’s he’s

Been. If you’ve watched my dad, if you’ve watched my uncle, you know, they’re legendary defensive tackles. Best of the business. So you know, I’m lucky to have them as mentors, you know, as a dad and an uncle for me. And just looking forward to making a name for myself as

Well. But look at little you. Yeah. I mean, can’t believe I was that short one time. You have grown up, but it’s not about dad as well. This is after the Rose Bowl. Really special moment with your mom. Any shout out to moms out there? Absolutely. Shout out to all the

Moms. Y’all don’t know how much y’all mean to us. Especially kids taking us to practice. You know, helping us get in shape, helping us do everything, get our pads. We really appreciate you and y’all have helped us get into moments like this. So thank you so much. Shout out to my

Mom. You know, hoping to continue to make her proud like I did this day. So I guarantee she’s going to watch this interview beaming with pride for everything that you’re doing. Absolutely. I mentioned the national championship of it all. Coach Harbaugh, what did the program and he, as a coach mean

To you as you now transition into the next phase of the NFL? It meant everything to us. You know, Michigan became our family . That was the culture that he set up that coach heard that all the coaches set up for us. And you know, we embrace that. We

Became a family. It wasn’t just a team. It was a family. It was a unit. So we played for each other. We played for the block and we played for the alumni. You know, it’s all thanks to coach really giving us that mindset and allowing us to do

What we do best. You’re also here with some teammates. Absolutely incredible. Is it to have them along your side through this entire process? It’s amazing. I mean, they absolutely deserve it. Like I said, we have eight team players , you know, coming out here getting ready to show off their

Skills, show off their talents. So you know, I’m excited for them to do their thing. And you know they’re about to tear it up. They’re about to do great things. So can’t wait. Well you’ll be their hype man. But for this moment, I’ll be your hype woman. Congratulations on

Everything you did on the field today, and best of luck as we inch closer to the NFL draft. Chris, thank you very much. I really appreciate it. I’m gonna give you a hug. I feel like we’re friends. I’m so I’m so
