K’Lavon Chaisson says Jags’ decision to draft Travon Walker ‘lit a fire’ under him

One of the issues that have hurt the Jacksonville Jaguars is the fact that they’ve missed on many recent draft picks. Examples of this include Taven Bryan, Dante Fowler, and C.J. Henderson (which wasn’t necessarily talent-related), to name a few.

Another player who Jags fans feel could make the list of first-round busts soon is K’Lavon Chaisson, who will be entering his third season in 2022. Chaisson has struggled to make an impact after the team took him with the No. 20 pick of the 2020 NFL Draft in hopes that he’d bolster the pass rush.

Since entering the league, it simply hasn’t clicked for the former Louisiana State Tiger. In his first two seasons, he’s only registered 11starts in 31 games played, 50 tackles, and two sacks. According to Pro Football Focus, he registered an overall grade of 49.6 as a rookie and a 47.0 last season. That’s simply not where he and the team envisioned him being as a former first- round pick at this point.
