A man's body was found Tuesday morning in the Fair Lawn, N.J., home of New York Giants cornerback Janoris Jenkins, police said.
It's not known if Jenkins was home, said Fair Lawn Police Sgt. Brian Metzler. Jenkins normally lives in Florida during the offseason.
A spokesperson from the Giants said, “We are aware of and monitoring the situation.”
A second-round selection in the 2012 NFL draft out of North Alabama, Jenkins has played two seasons with the Giants after playing his first four years with the Rams.
Acting Bergen County Prosecutor Dennis Calo said in a statement that the Prosecutor’s Office Major Crimes Unit and the Fair Lawn Police Department are investigating.
"The deceased is not the owner of the residence," Calo said, "but the identity of the male decedent cannot be released until next of kin have been notified."
Property records show the house is in the name of Srinivasa Rao Tummalapenta.
Police received a 911 call at 10:22 a.m., Metzler said.
The prosecutor's officer said the investigation is ongoing.
