With his rookie season taken away due to injury in 2015, our first look at Dante Fowler Jr. on the field came in the 2016 season. Although it wasn’t a completely unproductive campaign, it wasn’t exactly a memorable start either for the former third overall selection. Fowler played in all 16 games, tallying four sacks and 23 tackles.
Fowler obviously has the talent to be an impact player on the defense, but to really play to his strengths and skill set, the Jaguars should transition Fowler from defensive end to strongside linebacker.
Todd Wash is returning as defensive coordinator, and is expected to stick with his 4-3 under defense.
