What are the Jaguars getting in Jawaan Taylor?

I’ll be doing comprehensive scouting reports on each of the Jacksonville Jaguars draft selections from now up until OTAs.

Last week, I spotlighted Kentucky defensive end and linebacker Josh Allen.

This week, I break down new Jaguars right tackle Jawaan Taylor.

Background and character

By the time Jawaan Taylor reached eighth grade, he was 6’3” 325-pounds.

After attending University of Florida’s summer camp as a three-star guard recruit out of Cocoa High School, a then-383-pound Taylor “labored and limped” through his workout and knew he had to lose a substantial amount of weight to earn a spot on the Gators roster.
