The Jacksonville Jaguars are reigning AFC South champions and are largely favored to defend their title in 2023. But former Tennessee Titans defensive back Jason McCourty, who is now a host on Good Morning Football, still found a way to talk some trash about Jacksonville on Friday.
While announcing pick No. 81 in the third round, McCourty went on a rant about everything from barbecue to the Titans’ AFC South opponents:

“For the Titans, the division is ours,” McCourty said. “I don’t care what Houston did yesterday, they’re going to go and get their Letterman’s jackets again. The Indianapolis Colts are 2-6 against the Titans since Pat McAfee came up here and did his wrestling announcement.
“And the Jacksonville Jaguars, they haven’t had back-to-back winning seasons since I was a senior in high school.”
Technically, McCourty isn’t wrong. The last time the Jaguars strung together winning seasons was when they finished 9-7 in 2004 and 12-4 in 2005.
That doesn’t change the current state of affairs in the division, though. While the Jaguars have a franchise quarterback in place, the Titans are putting much of their hopes in second-round pick Will Levis.
McCourty, 35, played the first eight years of his NFL career with the Titans. He announced his retirement from football last summer.
