Jaguars linebacker Myles Jack is getting first team reps
Myles Jack of the Jacksonville Jaguars is getting first team reps in practice. The kid that was projected as a first rounder who fell because of a medical issue is already making an impact in the league.
“It’s all motivation and I actually appreciate it. It’s made me hungry. It’s grounded me a lot,” Jack told The Rich Eisen Show in May. “It was, honestly, humiliating.

It wasn’t a good night, truthfully.”
He played college football for the UCLA Bruins. In his first season, he was named the top freshman college football player in the Pac-12, receiving honors both on defense as well as on offense for his work as a running back. As a sophomore in 2014, he was named an All-Pac-12 linebacker for the second straight season. His season ended prematurely in 2015, when he suffered a season-ending knee injury. Jack was selected by Jacksonville in the second round of the 2016 NFL draft with the 36th overall pick.
