Jacksonville, Fla. – Travon Walker heard the whispers during his rookie year: He’s a project. He's a bust. He's an interior defensive lineman, not an edge rusher. He’s hardly the answer for the Jacksonville Jaguars. And he’s certainly not Aidan Hutchinson.
He insists none has bothered him. Nonetheless, he used them as motivation.
Now, Walker is hellbent on proving he was worthy of the No. 1 pick in the 2022 NFL draft. He’s so confident that he’ll end up being the best of the class that he’s openly talking about a gold jacket – the one reserved for Pro Football Hall of Famers.
