During the early rebuilding years of the David Caldwell era, the Jacksonville Jaguars counted on their rookies quite a bit, and not by choice. With such little talent on the roster, the team was forced to throw in unseasoned first-year players and hope for the best.
As the team gears up for the 2018 season, the roster appears to be stacked at almost every positions. With budding stars or solid veterans throughout, having rookie contributors is a luxury not a necessity.
Last year, the Jaguars relied heavily on their first round pick with terrific results. Leonard Fournette was one of the best and most productive running backs in the league as a rookie.
