The Jaguars couldn’t be happier that they traded up to acquire Brandon Linder in the third round of the 2014 draft.
Linder, a South Florida native who played for the University of Miami, started 15 games as a rookie at right guard last season. The sky seems to be the limit for him.
After the players put on shoulder pads Sunday for the first time in camp, Jaguars coach Gus Bradley said Linder has exceeded the team’s expectations.
“I would think that he is better than what we thought,” Bradley said. “We knew he was pretty good, but we’re very pleased with him.
