The Jacksonville Jaguars are ramping up for a high-pressure 2017 regular season, with pressure on numerous individual players and coaches. The team hasn’t had a successful season since 2007 and frustration is mounting among fans as well as the guys employed by the franchise.
One guy under a microscope in 2017 is former first round pick Dante Fowler Jr.
After injuring his knee and missing his entire rookie season, Fowler was given a pass for what was an underwhelming 2016 campaign. He looked overmatched as a pure edge rusher and was outplayed by his counterpart, rookie defensive end Yannick Ngakoue.
