A little over three months after being selected No. 1 in the NFL draft, Jaguars defensive end Travon Walker finally took the field for the first time as a pro.
In his first action since winning a national title in January, the Georgia product needed all of one snap against the Raiders in Thursday night’s Hall of Fame Game in Canton, Ohio to record his first sack as a Jag. As impressive as his first-quarter takedown of quarterback Jarrett Stidham was, however, Walker said after the game the sack served merely as an omen of what’s to come.
“I hadn’t hit an opponent in a while,” Walker said, per NBC Sports. “It was definitely an exciting feeling. It was my first one, but plenty more to come.”
