The New York Jets nose tackle Kris Jenkins recently ruled out both possibilities of putting on Minnesota Vikings jersey or quitting football. The 31-year-old veteran is still rehabbing from a surgery on his torn ACL and has been invited by the Jets head coach Rex Ryan to participate in the team’s training camp.
"This is the first year that retirement really crossed my mind," Jenkins told The New York Times. "You hear people talk about the end, but you start feeling those emotions, and it’s a trip, honestly. You have anxiety issues sometimes. Look, I’ve been playing football since I was 8. I’m getting tired. Like, I’m not tired of it yet but I’m starting to get tired. The biggest thing was Rex. If it had been any other coach, (2009) probably would have been my last year."
Jenkins also said that he was feeling pretty well and was confident that he would be able to endure the hard work in training camp by Aug. 1. Having been wearing Brett Favre jersey in most of the offseason, Jenkins said he was glad that he could finally wear back his own team uniform to play with his teammates again.
