Exciting young Jaguars talent a source of hope

The Jacksonville Jaguars did not have the season they envisioned. At 3-11, they’re looking at another top draft pick. Injuries played a major role in the season. But they always look to finish strong.

The Jaguars will travel to Las Vegas to face AFC West opponent the Raiders. The Jaguars have a very winnable game against the Raiders in Week 16.

The Jaguars team is full of young talent. But I couldn’t make the most of it this season. It may not look good for the Jaguars right now, but the team has the building blocks not only for next season but for years to come.

“I feel like, for me, I just continue to play the game the right way,” saidJaguars running back Travis Etienne Jr. “I want to go out there and try to be my best every time.
week, week after week for my team. Go ahead and record great things on tape and just try to be
the best running back I can be for the team.

The offense looked good last week. They did a good job getting the offensive playmakers implied.

“Yes, in a sense, but I feel like everyone is on the same page in the game. We all want to get a win and put good things on tape. I feel like we finally clicked, we had a lot of May days, almost like we were quickly on the right track. I feel like it took a lot of thought and we were just playing football.

Etienne also spoke about rookie wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr.

“Yeah, BT is one of those guys who could have been whatever he wanted to be. He’s a playmaker. He’s from Louisiana, so I feel like BT could have done whatever he wanted. He chose to be a receiver and you see another great receiver out of LSU (Louisiana State University).

The Jaguars are very well organized in terms of talent. They need to hit the offseason hard and get back to work. With the talent they have, it won’t be surprising to see them challenge for the AFC South title next season.
