Yannick Ngakoue. It might be a name that you are still learning to say if you are a Jacksonville Jaguars fan. It might be a name that commentators and those outside of Duval (and Maryland) that don’t even recognise. But no doubt the rookie defensive end in #91 is someone that opposition quarterbacks will be increasingly aware of…whether they can pronounce his name or not.
A 3rd round pick out of Maryland (69th overall), Ngakoue was part of a huge defensive overhaul this season. The explosive pass rusher pulled on the teal with perhaps less fanfare than more recognized new recruits Jalen Ramsey, Myles Jack, and Malik Jackson.
