He switched to safety the following season and thrived. He left New Orleans for Philadelphia in 2014 and started every game during six seasons with the Eagles. He made three Pro Bowls and was an instrumental leader on the 2017 Eagles team that won the Super Bowl despite losing starting quarterback Carson Wentz and several key starters.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"718\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/Malcolm-Jenkins.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"Malcolm Jenkins\" class=\"wp-image-21726684\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/Malcolm-Jenkins.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=2048 2048w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/Malcolm-Jenkins.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1536 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/Malcolm-Jenkins.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/Malcolm-Jenkins.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Malcolm Jenkins<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Getty Images<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>He won Super Bowls with the Saints in 2009 and Eagles in 2017, and he was selected to the Pro Bowl in 2015, 2017 and 2018.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"single__inline-module alignright\">\n    <\/aside>\n<p>Jenkins played 2,651 consecutive snaps from the start of the 2017 playoffs through part of the 2020 season in New Orleans. He returned to the Saints that year and helped them go 4-0 against Tom Brady and the Buccaneers in the regular season the past two years. However, Tampa Bay beat New Orleans in the 2020 playoffs in Drew Brees\u2019 final game.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think competition is probably the biggest thing that I\u2019ll miss about the game,\u201d Jenkins said. \u201cI am admittedly a junkie for competition. I\u2019ll compete with my grandmother in Monopoly like it\u2019s the Super Bowl, so I have to find different ways to channel that energy. But there is no higher competition than Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, especially in the NFC South.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Jenkins helped create the Players Coalition to fight for racial and social equality and served on the NFLPA Executive Committee board. He was named a visiting fellow at Harvard\u2019s Weatherhead Initiative on Global History, becoming the first Black professional athlete to be honored with the esteemed fellowship.<\/p>\n<p>Jenkins has co-founded several businesses, including Listen Up Media, a multimedia production company with the mission to showcase and distribute content that creates social awareness around systemic issues in society. He launched Broad Street Ventures, a $10 million investment vehicle funded entirely by Black and brown investors, including a group of fellow NFL players. He started Disrupt Foods, a multiunit franchise developer and operator of 20-plus quick service restaurants aiming to level the economic playing field for Blacks and Hispanics through franchise ownership. He opened Damari, a custom clothing company including ready-to-wear and made-to-measure men\u2019s suits.<\/p>\n<p>A three-time NFL Walter Payton Man of the Year finalist and winner of the 2017 NFLPA Byron \u201cWhizzer\u201d White Award, Jenkins aims to make a positive difference in the lives of youth in underserved communities through The Malcolm Jenkins Foundation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is some relief to be able to have the space to put that same effort into all of these other endeavors, but I do think that it comes with some anxiety,\u201d Jenkins said. \u201cWhile those things have been great to work on, football has been all I\u2019ve known for a large majority of my life. It becomes part of your identity, it becomes part of who you are. And so I do think that there is a little bit of anxiety with letting that go, but it\u2019s met immediately with excitement.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI truly believe in myself and my abilities to do other things. And so to be able to step into that, it is a little bit exciting going into the unknown. It\u2019s not like I\u2019m just jumping off the cliff into the abyss. I\u2019ve been building things for the last five years with my team around me, doing other business ventures to make sure that when I do step away from this game, I\u2019m fine. I am looking forward to working on some of the creative things that I have, some of the aspects of me that people don\u2019t get to see because I\u2019m stuck in the box of being an athlete.\u201d\n                        <\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
