The Jacksonville Jaguars defense was an atrocity in 2015 and it really boiled down to one obvious and primary deficiency – the pass rush. Knowing this was an issue before the season, general manager David Caldwell made Dante Fowler Jr. the first defensive player selected in the 2015 NFL Draft. Considered by most to be the best pass rusher in the draft, Fowler never got a chance to show his worth, as a torn ACL in the first rookie minicamp practice ended his rookie season before it even began.
Consequently, the Jaguars had to trot out the underwhelming duo of Chris Clemons and Andre Branch at LEO.
