The Jaguars have signed WR Nakia Jenkins, a first-year player who
spent the 1998 training camp with the New York Jets after signing
as an undrafted rookie. Terms are not disclosed. In two years at
Utah State, Jenkins, 23, caught 155 passes for 2,483 yards and 14
touchdowns, with back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons. The 6-1,
210-pound Jenkins is a native of Belle Glade, Fla. Jenkins has some
ties to the Jaguars: his offensive coordinator at Utah State was new
Jaguars QB coach Bob Petrino, and he was a high school teammate
of Jaguars RB Fred Taylor at Central High in Belle Glade.
