Travon Walker discusses first days in training camp, seasons learned from Robert Mathis

The Jacksonville Jaguars kicked off their training camp on Monday and now have three days under their belts in what will be a long journey to the regular season. On Wednesday, No. 1 overall pick Travon Walker was the player who spoke with the media to explain how he’s getting acclimated to the NFL.

Walker said he was happy to return to the practice field after a pre-camp break that lasted over a month, but said he’s ready for Sunday to arrive. As fans know, that’s the date when the pads go on and four days before the Jags’ first preseason game.

“I’m really ready to get into pads now because I’ve been out of pads so long, since the national championship, and to just finally really strike somebody and be as physical as I can,” Walker said. “I’m ready to get back to that.”
