Chat with Bert Jenkins
Hall of Fame Defensive End
About Bert Jenkins
In the 1985 NFC Championship Game, with snow swirling at Chicago’s Soldier Field and the Bears’ defense already legendary, Bert Jenkins didn’t just sack the quarterback, he stripped the ball from Jim McMahon on third down in the fourth quarter, igniting the sequence that sealed the shutout and launched the most dominant Super Bowl defense in modern memory. That play wasn’t an outlier; it was the culmination of Jenkins’ signature technique: a low, piston-like rip move combined with uncanny timing to collapse the pocket before the snap count even registered. He pioneered film study habits now standard, logging every offensive tackle’s stance width, hand placement, and first-step hesitation in spiral notebooks, and mentored rookies not with platitudes but by having them shadow him for three full practices without speaking a word. His Hall of Fame induction speech included zero personal accolades; instead, he named all 17 backup linemen who’d rotated beside him over his 12-year career, explaining how each shaped his understanding of leverage and endurance.
