Jaguars Finally Open a Training Camp on the Other Side of a Rebuild

DUVAL, Fla. — A glorious and necessary blanket of gray pre-storm clouds coated the practice field for the opening of Jaguars 2018 training camp, a place that would not have been a destination a few years ago while this roster was under construction.

John Port, a Jaguars fan since the franchise’s inception back in 1995, has been sitting outside the front gate on Day One of training camp for 23 years now, serving fans, police, security and other staff his chili/jambalaya hybrid out of a tall metal pot.
