Jenkins brothers make 'Big Daddy' proud
You know Packers defensive tackle Cullen Jenkins is a big man. He goes 6-foot-2, 295 pounds.
His brother, Panthers defensive tackle Kris Jenkins, is an even bigger man. He goes 6-4, 335.
They get that from Dad. Darmone Jenkins is 6-3, 350.
The boys were toddlers when Darmone was granted custody of them in 1981. Living in the Detroit area the time, he handled the rough stuff for bailiffs who wanted to serve eviction notices on people who didn't want to come to the door.
After one such confrontation went bad – it was Jenkins and his partner vs. "10 big fellas … who said they weren't going anywhere" – he decided to get out of that business.
So, at 27, he took the two boys with him to college and became a teacher.
For more, read Pat Yasinskas’ story, which was published in the Charlotte Observer before Sunday’s Packers-Panthers game and in today's Packers Preview section in the Press-Gazette.
