Jacksonville Jaguars: Can Dante Fowler Jr. build on a strong 2016 finish?

Just one season into his career (discounting his 2015 rookie season that he missed due to injury), Dante Fowler Jr. has not done enough to impress the Jacksonville Jaguars faithful. Fowler did not look particularly explosive as an athlete or disruptive as a pass rusher.

In short, for a first year, Fowler was far from the dominant pass rusher that he was drafted to be when the Jags took him third overall in 2015.

Fowler’s under-performance (based on expectations) was contrasted sharply with rookie Yannick Ngakoue who set a franchise record for rookies with eight sacks in 2016.
