Izel Jenkins
Edit ProfileCareer
He was drafted by the Eagles in the 11th round (288th overall) of the 1988 NFL Draft. Jenkins frequently played in nickel and dime situations. Jenkins acquired the nickname of "Toast", due to fans and commentators believing he gave up too many big pass plays (or colloquially being "burnt" - hence "toast") to opposing wide receivers.
The late Ron Reid, sports journalist for The Philadelphia Inquirer, routinely referred to Jenkins in his columns as "the human crouton.".
