When the Jacksonville Jaguars drafted linebacker Travon Walker with the first overall pick in April, expectations were high for his performance as a rookie. His stand-out play at the University of Georgia warranted his selection as the top pick in the class, and with about a month of professional practices and preseason games under his belt, it would appear that he is acclimating well to the NFL’s torrid pace.
Jaguars’ defensive coordinator Mile Caldwell commented on Walker’s development ahead of the team’s joint practices with the Atlanta Falcons on Wednesday. He showered high praise on the first-year linebacker and seemed to hint that big things were in his future in 2022.
