K’Lavon Chaisson to play DE for Jaguars, Todd Wash ‘excited’ by his strength

The Jaguars have a plan for first round rookie K’Lavon Chaisson, and that plan doesn’t include playing linebacker. Instead the former LSU pass rusher will be playing defensive end, and defensive coordinator Todd Wash feels it’s the best situation for Chaisson and the team.
