Jaguars: The next step for DJ Chark in the NFL

Jaguars wide receiver DJ Chark made the biggest jump from his rookie season in 2018 to a Pro Bowl player in 2019. Now, it’s time to see if this kind of progression will continue in 2020, while the second-round draft pick out of LSU takes his place among the NFL’s elite wide receivers.

There is a good chance this is just the beginning for Chark, who missed one game due to injury but still caught passes for 1,0008 receiving yards with the Black and Teal this past season.

“He caught 14 passes for 174 yards as a rookie in 2018 and admitted in the offseason that he didn’t realize how hard he needed to work — and that he wasn’t even close to that level,” Michael DiRocco of ESPN.
