Alfred Donnell Jenkins (born January 25, 1952) is an American former professional football player who was a wide receiver for the Birmingham Americans in 1974 and nine seasons for the Atlanta Falcons from 1975 through 1983. Jenkins was selected to the Pro Bowl during the 1980 and 1981 seasons and is considered the most successful National Football League (NFL) player from the short-lived World Football League.^[1]

Jenkins played college football at Atlanta's Morris Brown College and went undrafted in the 1974 NFL Draft. He received a tryout and signed with the WFL's Birmingham Americans and led them to the WFL's only championship that season. The WFL folded midway through the following season and Jenkins signed with the Falcons and became a mainstay at wide receiver, starting every game in each of his NFL seasons (with the exception of 1978, in which he played only one game before suffering a broken collarbone). Jenkins led the NFL in receiving yards (1,358) and receiving touchdowns (13) in the 1981 season.^[2]
