Commentary: Accident changes perspective of ASU's Jenkins

MONTGOMERY, Alabama -- Brian Jenkins now walks with a noticeable limp.

It's not a result from pacing up and down the football sidelines for several years. Something else happened and in a split second did more than just change the manner in which he gets around.

For Jenkins, it changed his life.

Earlier this month, Jenkins said he was hit by an RV while sitting on his motorcycle on the side of the road on I-95 outside of Fayetteville, North Carolina. Jenkins said he was in the hospital for two days.

"As I laid there in the road, I thought I was dead," Jenkins said. "The grace of God kept me alive."

That's how Jenkins responded to a question at SWAC Media Day about his job security as it relates to allegations about ASU football and his time at Bethune-Cookman. This isn't to say he hasn't or isn't concerned or shouldn't be concerned about his future because there are reasons for him to be.
