JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — When the Jaguars hit the practice field next week, there will be an entirely different atmosphere, the pads will be back. This year’s Jaguars team appears ready to showcase their skills, size, speed and strength once they’re no longer simply in “underwear.”
Phase two of training camp this year permits only helmets, not much more than some pants and a jersey, however the anticipation for pads really comes from how they look: strong, big, and ready to roll.
“Looking forward to August 17 with the pads, putting them on and then obviously September 5 is when we have to get down to 53 and trying to figure out who the 53 best players are that are going to help us win this year,” Marrone finished with his opening statement today.
