In 1989, Jensen initially refused terms with the Birmingham Bulls, but signed just before the start of the season, teaming up with another fellow import, this time wide receiver Bob Shoop, throwing 2276 passing yards and 20 touchdowns, leading the Bulls to another national championship game, against the Manchester Allstars at Crystal Palace. However, two days before the final, Jensen left the team due to a dispute with Bulls owner Dave Webb over medical bills. Jensen never played for the Bulls again and then GM and lineman James Thornton placed the blame on the Bulls management.

In 1988, the GM of the Birmingham Bulls of the British Budweiser League, Frank Leadon, brought Jensen over to the UK. Jensen immediately made the Bulls national contenders again.

During the 1987 "Strike" Season, Jensen made the roster of the San Diego Chargers as a non-union player. He had been working in construction and minor acting roles on the show 1st & Ten when he was contacted by the Chargers.

Despite his limited playing time in the USFL, Jensen got a chance to make the Los Angeles Raiders roster in the 1985 off season. Jensen was in competition with Rusty Hilger and former first round draft pick Rich Campbell to back up Jim Plunkett and Marc Wilson. He suffered a broken thumb in a scrimmage with the Dallas Cowboys at his college's facilities in Cal Lutheran, and spent only a limited time on the roster.

Jensen was not drafted in the 1983 NFL Draft, but was selected in the USFL Territorial Draft by the Los Angeles Express.

Jensen was recruited to play at San Francisco State, but transferred to the Cal Lutheran Kingsmen in his senior year. As the starting quarterback, he led the Kingsmen to the Division II playoffs where they met the Linfield College Wildcats in the first round. Jensen set NAIA playoff records in pass attempts (57), pass completions (35) and passing yards (437), but also tied the record for interceptions with 7. They lost to the eventual 1982 champions 20-16.

Jensen was an NAIA All-American Honorable Mention in 1982 and set Kingsmen records in passing yardage and passing touchdowns.
