Jacksonville Jaguars defensive end Joe Gaziano did a little extra campaigning to play this week.
Gaziano doesn’t always get a chance to suit up on Sundays since he’s one of 16 players on Jacksonville’s practice squad. But with the Jaguars in London to take on the New England Patriots, the team Gaziano is very familiar with having grown up in Scituate, Mass., he wanted the opportunity to be on the field even more.
“Internally, yes. I’m making an extra push to try to give myself whatever edge if the coaches see that,” Gaziano told NESN.com.
Well, Gaziano got his wish.
