FILM ROOM: offensive weapon Tyson Alualu

Spider 2 Y Banana, baby.

It has been five years since the Jaguars reached for Cal defensive tackle Tyson Alualu at 10th overall in the 2010 NFL Draft. Since then, Alualu has performed somewhat steadily in his rotational DT position but has failed to validate his high draft selection.

This season, however, Alualu has transformed into a multi-dimensional threat.

It's not often that you see a defensive lineman lined up behind your franchise quarterback, much less running routes and breaking tackles on his way to first downs. But over time, Alualu has turned into a significant component of the Jaguars' short-yardage backfield.
