First-round pick Jenkins trying to fit with Cowboys

IRVING, Texas (AP) - Mike Jenkins is trying to keep things
simple in his first practices with the Dallas Cowboys.
Jenkins -- a cornerback from South Florida who was the second of
Dallas' two first-round draft picks -- said today he just wants to
fit in on a team that went 13-3 last season.
Jenkins said on the third day of the Cowboys' rookie minicamp
-- quote -- "I'm just trying to get in and help the team the best
I can. I'm trying to learn the playbook. If it's meant for me to
get on the field early, I can do that. But right now I'm just
trying to get in there and learn behind the guys that they have
here."
Jenkins began that learning process this weekend. The 25th
overall pick is among 19 rookies and eight first-year players
taking part in the three-day minicamp.
Among those Jenkins can ask for help in becoming an elite
cornerback was one of the best to ever to play the position --
Deion Sanders. The former Cowboys star was a teammate of Jenkins'
uncle, Tracy Sanders, at Florida State.
