Dwayne Gratz’s chance to be a starting cornerback for the Jaguars has disappeared. When training camp begins next month, Gratz will face a new challenge: Simply making the team.
“It’s going to be big,” Gratz said. “I have to understand it’s not a given and that if I don’t do my job, I won’t end up on this team, which I would like to be a part of because a lot of special things are going to happen. I understand the situation I’m in.”
The situation: Since Gratz was a third-round pick from UConn in 2013, the Jaguars have added Aaron Colvin (fourth round, 2014), Davon House (free agency, 2015), Prince Amukamara (free agency, 2016) and Jalen Ramsey (first round, 2016).
