Jaguars receiver Marqise Lee says Cecil Shorts will be missed

The Jaguars decided to let receiver Cecil Shorts walk in free agency.

He's now with the Houston Texans.

Still, as the veteran of a receiving corps that featured three rookies last season, Shorts' departure has been felt by his teammates.

Shorts endured a disappointing 2013 and 2014 season, finishing last year with 53 catches for 557 yards and a touchdown.

Now, the three rookies from last season -- Allen Robinson, Marqise Lee and Allen Hurns -- are the leaders at the position entering their second season.

Lee reflected on what losing Shorts meant to the group on Wednesday at EverBank Field.
