What more is there to say about the Jaguars defense? From Calais Campbell to Jalen Ramsey, Malik Jackson, AJ Bouye, Telvin Smith, Myles Jack, Yannick Ngakoue, Tashaun Gipson, Barry Church, and Marcell Dareus, the team is loaded with defensive talent in the front seven and in the secondary. Of those players, Campbell, Jackson, Bouye, Gipson, Church and Dareus were all free agent/mid season acquisitions.
One of the team’s homegrown talents experienced a breakout year in 2017. That talent is defensive end Yannick Ngakoue. In his sophomore season, Ngakoue created 12 sacks while leading the league in forced fumbles with six (excluding the forced fumble he had on Ben Roethlisberger in the postseason).
