Injuries are never good. Dante Fowler Jr. found that out the hard way after tearing his ACL during his first look on the field in a rookie minicamp for the Jacksonville Jaguars following his selection third overall in the 2015 NFL Draft.
To say that ACL tear held him back would be accurate. Instead of hitting the field as a young terror, Fowler missed all of 2015 and worked back slowly into the rotation in 2016. Fellow pass rusher, rookie Yannick Ngakoue, is pushing Fowler for playing time after leading the team with eight sacks (Fowler had four).
