Malcolm Jenkins was selected 14th overall by the Saints in the 2009 NFL draft. Jenkins started for the Saints for 5 seasons during which he won Super Bowl XLIV and then became an unrestricted free agent in 2013. He was then picked up by Philadelphia Eagles to a 3-year deal. He was part of the Eagles team that defeated Tom Brady and the Patriots in Super Bowl LII. After his contract with the Eagles ended, he came back a full circle and was signed by the Saints.

Grateful ?? After 13 seasons, my time on the football field has come to an end. I’m just a boy from Piscataway, who through this game, became a champion in the sport and a champion for the people. My time on the field may be over, but I’ll never stop fighting for the people. ✊?? pic.twitter.com/vd9u5eNU0H

Congrats @MalcolmJenkins on an outstanding career. Two SBs with two different teams; an amazing leader on and off the field. Good luck on your next venture.@Saints, it's time to get @Mathieu_Era. I would think Malcom would approve this move.
