In the days leading up to the NFL draft, Jenkins had under 2,000 twitter followers. That number went up to over 4,000 the day he got drafted by the Chicago Bears. Less than two weeks later, he is up to over 26,000 followers.

Jenkins responds with memes or just plain disappointment. He even tried denying the existence of any photos taken before a few days ago.
