Press Taylor: Jaguars are ‘very comfortable’ with Walker Little at LT

The Jacksonville Jaguars will start Walker Little at left tackle to begin the year with stalwart Cam Robinson out of action due to a four-game suspension.

While not having Robinson is less than ideal for the Jaguars, it could be the beginning of the end of his time with the Jaguars. Little, a 2021 second-round pick, may be the better long-term option for Jacksonville on the left side and the next month could be his chance to prove it.

That’ll start Sunday against a veteran Indianapolis Colts defensive front.

“We’re very comfortable with Walker’s process and how he gets himself prepared to play,” Jaguars offensive coordinator Press Taylor said Thursday. “I’m sure all our guys face the first game jitters.

“That’s certainly something we understand, and we’ll deal with. We’re confident that our process prepares the guys to have that confidence to get ready and go perform.”

Little has spent the majority of his career as a backup after joining a team that already had a pair of starting tackles in Robinson and Jawaan Taylor. While the departure of Taylor opened up a spot, the Jaguars quickly filled it by picking Anton Harrison in the first round of the 2023 NFL draft.

Still, Little has six career starts under his belt, including three late in the 2022 season at left tackle after Robinson suffered a meniscus injury.
