The true mark of today’s starting wide receiver rests at 1,000 yards in receptions. An attainable mark by players on other teams, yet somewhat of a rarity in Duval. Rare like… an Albino Tiger. Newly acquired quarterback Nick Foles routinely excites conversation about a functional passing offense in 2019. Hopefully, they get a receiver over the thousand-yard mark where recent history has not been kind to the Jacksonville Jaguars.
In 2005 beloved wide receiver Jimmy Smith caught and ran for 1,023 yards and for years, that stood as tall as a statue around Duval County in the infamous way that one fondly remembers football in the month of June.
