The two came to Jacksonville around the same time. Caldwell, who was the Director of Player Personnel with the Atlanta Falcons prior to accepting his current position with the Jaguars, hired Bradley after Mike Mularkey stopped in for a cup of coffee and a 2-14 record in 2012.
Now, through a series of solid moves in free agency and recent NFL Draft picks, Caldwell is regarded as one of the best at what he does and a major reason why the Jaguars are where they are in the NFL hierarchy. For his efforts, Vinnie Iyer of The Sporting News has ranked him as the sixth best general manager in the league.
