JACKSONVILLE – Among the Jaguars more intriguing rookies is offensive tackle Walker Little.
And if there is a limit to what can be gleaned from watching offensive linemen in no-contact situations, this much was clear during Jaguars 2021 Rookie Minicamp presented by Baptist Health this past weekend:
The Jaguars like Little, and he has big-time potential. Without putting the cart before the horse, I m just really excited about him, Jaguars Head Coach Urban Meyer said Saturday after the second day of rookie camp.
With reason.
Little, selected from Stanford University with the No. 45 overall selection of Round 2 of the 2021 NFL Draft, had been projected as a likely Round 1 selection before sustaining a torn anterior cruciate ligament in the first game of his 2019 junior season. He then opted out of the 2020 season because of uncertainty around the Pac-12 schedule, which perhaps caused him to slide in the draft.
JACKSONVILLE – Shaquill Griffin wouldn t want to be anywhere else.
James Robinson wouldn t, either – and both said that feeling can be felt and seen everywhere around TIAA Bank Field this week. Everyone s excited about the new system, everything that s going on, Robinson said.
Robinson, the Jaguars second-year running back, spoke Wednesday as the team s first offseason under Head Coach Urban Meyer continued at the Dream Finders Homes Practice Complex. Griffin, a cornerback who signed as an unrestricted free agent in March, expressed the same sentiment:
That what s going on around the Jaguars under Meyer is making players want to be in Jacksonville for the 2021 voluntary offseason program.
