It’s not easy being Tre Herndon - at least to outside perception. Not only was he an undrafted free agent when he singed with the Jaguars in 2018, but he was forced into the team’s starting lineup quickly after disgruntled cornerback Jalen Ramsey forced himself away from the team in week three. Replacing a perennial Pro Bowler like Ramsey isn’t easy.
Heading into this season though, Herndon looks to make a big leap, with a - nearly - full season under his belt of learning the way gameday operates, how nuanced the cornerback position is, and what it takes to be a legitimate boundary corner in the NFL.
