The Jacksonville Jaguars were bitten in the butt by former general manager Gene Smith’s decision to focus on drafting players who were of “high character” (however he arbitrarily defined it) and “base hits” rather than home run gambles.
So, in the Jaguars promotional video for Oregon defensive end DeForest Buckner, it may have rubbed many Jags fans who suffered through the Gene Smith era the wrong way. Buckner kept saying he was a good man and that’s what he would bring to the Jaguars along with hard work.
That isn’t the emphasis that many fans want to hear from a defensive lineman who may be called upon to wreak havoc each and every down.
