For what it's worth, I think Barrows has been highly outspoken against Jenkins ever since last year's draft.Rotoworld:
The Sacramento Bee currently projects Kyle Williams as the 49ers' starting "X" receiver over A.J. Jenkins.
Beat writer Matt Barrows' depth chart is based on where players lined up in offseason practices. Rookie Quinton Patton is listed as the No. 3 "Z" receiver behind Anquan Boldin and Ricardo Lockette. It would be a major blow to Jenkins' career if he couldn't beat out Williams, but we expect him to dispatch the special teamer. Patton is the bigger threat as Jenkins attempts to nail down a starting job in the absence of Michael Crabtree.

By all accounts, there wasn't anything to be excited about from Jenkins' 2012 season, but just a consideration that even if Jenkins is starting to turn the corner - and there's been some indication that he's much-improved this spring - Barrows might be having a hard time looking at it objectively given his past predisposition.
Just a thought.
