Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Doug Marrone would not call rookie linebacker Leon Jacobs an underdog when asked about the seventh-round draft pick’s performance this offseason. Players selected in the last round of the NFL Draft aren’t usually starters in this league, but Jacobs has done everything the team has asked of him.
This led to him moving into the empty outside linebacker position created when Paul Posluszny retired.
As a side note, I predicted Jacobs would be the starter once the team came out for OTAs. Jacobs beat out Blair Brown and others.
