In throwing together the 99 people who will shape the 2017 NFL season, it wouldn’t have been surprising to see ESPN writer Dan Graziano completely leave off some Jacksonville Jaguars members. In a seemingly constant in-joke of overlooking the Jags, the national media often forgets that the league’s least-popular team exists.
Credit to Graziano, because the Jags are not only remembered but also featured. In fact, three Jaguars make an appearance on his list of 99.
First up is executive vice president of football operations, Tom Coughlin. Coughlin is part of a five-person “Culture Changers” section that also features Kyle Shanahan of the San Francisco 49ers and Sean McDermott of the Buffalo Bills.
