As Michigan football gears up for another run at the College Football Playoff, some of its preseason workouts are going viral. Any team as talented as Michigan is bound to have some freaks of nature on the roster, and that's a fantastic way to describe junior defensive lineman Kris Jenkins.

Video of Jenkins doing a Turkish Get-Up with a 170-pound dumbbell in his right hand surfaced on Tuesday and well, you just have to see it to believe it.

Jenkins, the son of the former NFL All-Pro that goes by the same name, is certainly no stranger to doing what seems impossible for a player of his stature. His other freak accomplishments include doing pull-ups with a 100-pound weight strapped around his waist.

Michigan football coach Jim Harbaugh is more than blown away by Jenkins' work ethic.

“He’s the mutant of all mutants,” Harbaugh told The Athletic. “He just keeps going and going. He’s No. 1 in our KPIs (Key Performance Indicators). He’s over 300. He’s the poster child for enthusiasm unknown to mankind. Watch him become a top-10 pick.”

Jenkins had his best season with Michigan in 2022, recording 54 tackles, two sacks and 3.5 tackles for loss. He figures to be an even better player for Harbaugh and the Wolverines this season as he tries to improve his draft stock.

Michigan football is ranked second in the AP Top 25 preseason poll, one spot ahead of its biggest rival, Ohio State. The two programs will once again battle it out for a spot in the Big Ten title game and the College Football Playoff.
