Jaguars players donate to help communities during COVID-19 pandemic

During this time many families, and individuals have suffered great financial losses due to the on-going quarantine caused by the novel coronavirus known as CoV-2(SARS), which can cause the disease Covid-19.

Many NFL players have already contributed greatly to the cause, including cornerback Tre Herndon and former quarterback Nick Foles. Now the Jaguars have announced several other players who are pledging funds or their time to contribute to various causes in their home city or Jacksonville, Florida.

See who all has given so far to help during the pandemic.

A.J. Epenesa would give the Jaguars a versatile defensive starter

Until the New England Patriots scored 14 fourth-quarter points in the AFC Championship game, the Jacksonville Jaguars were on a Cinderella Super Bowl run in the 2017 season. That team had one of the better defenses in recent NFL history.

But now that defense is broken into pieces. With four picks in the top 75, including two first-rounders, the defense can be rebuilt.

Alfie Crow of Big Cat County is back for his second first-round pick in the SB Nation NFL writers’ mock draft to add a potential starter on defense.

How do the receivers look headed into the 2020 NFL Draft?

In only a few weeks, the 2020 NFL Draft will at last commence. This year’s draft will obviously be dramatically different due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which has forced the draft to become a completely virtual event. But nonetheless, the show marches on.

While we gear up in preparation for the draft, we will be looking at each position group on the Jacksonville Jaguars’ roster to gauge where it stands before this month’s draft. Which groups need more attention, and which appear to be set?

In this edition, we take a look at the Jaguars’ wide receiver room, which is led by 2019 breakout player D.J. Chark.

Do the Jaguars need to continue to add to the position, or are they set for 2020?
