JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — The Jacksonville Jaguars defense's first test of the season will be a doozy.
The unit, missing starting defensive linemen Sen'Derrick Marks and Andre Branch, will have to contain Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton. The former No. 1 overall pick not only has a canon arm (despite it's unpredictability at times) but the running ability and size that makes him tough to bring down.
While it is easy to point out Newton's lack of receiving weapons with wide receiver Kelvin Benjamin done for the season with an ACL tear, Newton's leg may be tough to contain.
