29. Jacksonville Jaguars

WR. Texas. Collin Johnson . 29. player. 52.

The Jacksonville Jaguars were once again exposed as a one-dimensional team by Tennessee. Without Leonard Fournette and an able run game, Blake Bortles simply isn’t capable of carrying the offense on his own. In fairness, his receiving corps is still limited both by injury and free agent losses. As much as they embrace the old school vision for their roster, the fact is they’ll never win a Super Bowl until they can truly throw the ball at a high level. Collin Johnson brings them an element they don’t have enough of:  size. He’s every bit of 6’5 with a long wingspan and is able to jump and win those 50/50 battles. Throw in some solid speed and that is the making of a stud.
