Illini's Jenkins, Allen could join Mercilus as early-round picks

Draft day will be a private, quiet affair for A.J. Jenkins.

The wide receiver, sometimes known for his brash predictions at Illinois, is not making any guesses about where he will be selected in the NFL draft this week.

"As the days get closer, it builds up," he said. "But there's nothing I can do about it. I'm anxious to see what city and what team I go to. I'm not really nervous. I'm just going to have a real low-key get-together with family."
