The Jaguars followed that model this season as well when it added tackle Will Richardson from North Carolina State. Richardson is expected to be a swing tackle and potentially play guard to add depth to an already solid unit.
Richardson lasted until the fourth round, potentially because of off-field issues while a member of the Wolfpack football team. Richardson was arrested for a DWI in November 2015 that forced a one-game suspension and he was suspended for the first two games of the 2017 season because of a marijuana-related violation. Like Dede Westbrook, who was chosen in the fourth round of the 2017 NFL Draft who had two arrests for domestic violence while at Oklahoma, Coughlin and the organization are banking on the past is just that, and that Richardson has moved forward.
