  Speaker 1: the NFL JO with head coach Urban Meer. Did anything
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: surprise you coming out of this? I've always been on
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: the other end. I was counting them up. I wanted
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: to say about ten times I got to sit in
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: the green rope with the players getting drafted and and
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: watching their faces and their mom and her father and
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: there you know, and you see it's a life changing

  Speaker 1: moment for them. And uh. And then to be on

• 1:21
  Speaker 1: It felt kind of cool and really appreciate the experience. Hey,
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: tell your family, congratulations, We're gonna select you with a pick.
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: They were waiting months to make it official, Trevor Lawrence
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: number one draft pick. And you know, we always said
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: to say, if the Jaguar selected, how good does it
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: feel that it's now official and it really happens. Well,
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: I feel really good because we did our due diligence.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: That wasn't We didn't make that decision back in November.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: You know, certainly I wasn't here. And then we went
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: into it high eyes and ears wide open. We did
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: zoom calls and listened and it was not given to anybody.
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: I don't believe in the deal. And there's just like
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: Trevor's not gonna be given a starting job. You know,
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: everything in this organization has earned and Trevor Lawrence earned
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: the first pick of the draft. I will add this
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: to just about our culture. The best thing going right now.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: I don't want to forget about our current players. You know,
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: this is really important, But even more important is what's
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: going on in this building. H thank no mistake that
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: Jaguars got very good players. There's a very good core
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: group of players, and now we gotta now, you know
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: what we gotta do. You gotta go coach him and
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: coach them. Hart plenty more with Urban Meyer and Trent
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: Balky available on the team website. Let's move to Wednesday's
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: Huddle Up podcast. NFL Network analyst Bucky Brooks, Jaguars dot
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: Com senior writer John Osier and yours Truly discussed the
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: star power of Trevor Lawrence and it could be the
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: biggest star on and off the field to join the
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: league since another quarterback that wore number sixteen in college.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: You could make the argument this is the biggest star
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: to enter the NFL since Peyton Manning entered the NFL up.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean by that, the brand being
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: so established. Everybody knew who Peyton Manning was. JP. I
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: think you're old enough to have remember his college years.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: Everybody knew Peyton and the whole Heisman stuff. I mean,
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: this was a huge brand name to enter the league.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: I don't know that there's been a bigger brand, a
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: more well known superstar. Everybody sort of loves this kid.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: Everybody knows who he is. Has there been one since him?
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: I mean, this is the biggest star to enter league
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: in twenty three years. I'm not sure it's that close. Yeah,
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: Mike was Mike Vick. He was a big name, but
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: it wasn't this well, and I guess the combination of
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: it big star, which I don't think anybody would doubt
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: the Lawrence is a star. Vic was a big star.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: I mean he was a big deal, but there were
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: questions about what that was going to look like, meaning
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: how well his game would translate a prototyl. I mean,
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: there was all sorts of stuff that you weren't quite
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: sure what kind of quarterback he would be, which I
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: think that was a fairly fair question all throughout his career.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: A mega star, but you weren't sure that that was
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: going to be a great quarterback. It turned out to
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: be Luck, sort of the opposite of that. I think
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: with Luck, you knew. I don't think there's ever been
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: a quarterback. I've never seen a quarterback that I knew
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: for sure it was going to be as great as
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: Andrew Luck when he was coming out. I was dead
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: sure he was going to be great, but he wasn't
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: quite the star that Lawrence and Manning were. Football people
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: loved Luck, but he had played at Stanford. They had
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: been on TV some, but there was not the brand
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: name of Andrew Luck. I don't think there's a Trevor
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: Lawrence Bucky. I don't know if you see it that way. Yeah,
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: no, no no, I think I see it exactly how you
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: see it. Trevor Lawrence is clearly a bigger star than
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: Andrew Luck was. Andrew Luck was celebrated and lauded as
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: a potential number one picked for a long time, but
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: he didn't have the star power. Some of that has
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: to do with, uh, Trevor Lawrence playing on a big stage,
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: winning the national title as a freshman and having three
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: years of that to continue to build and establish his brand.
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: There's something to that, and let's be honest. Also, like
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence plays in the Southeast, he doesn't play in
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: the SEC. But Dabo Swinney had wanted to build a
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: team that was SEC like and so the way they
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: played the brand of football the proximity from Clemson to Jacksonville,
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: but really Clempson being a brand, being a team that
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: is always in the College Football Playoff. I mean, I
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: feel like we saw Trevor Lawrence every weekend, particularly when
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: it mattered, and the face of the sport. Yeah, and
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: you always it was yeah. So so, so Trevor comes
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: in with the level of cash and recognition that we
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: haven't seen since paid Manning inter the league, like because
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: Peyton was there, and Peyton went back for that fourth year,
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: he went back for a senior year that even further
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: establishes brand. And so Trevor certainly is and certainly in
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: the league with a different level of cashade and some
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: of these other number one picks will enter and Peyton
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: didn't win the Heisman. Think about that. I mean, that's
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: crazy to go back and think about that. Charles Wilson,
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: that was the Charles Woodson year. It was unbelievable. But
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: Charles Woods that stick that it does. He never told
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: me that he couldn't be Florida. He could darn Shirt
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: beat Alabama. Fact, Holy smokes. The Huddle Up Podcast runs
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: Wednesday mornings on the Jaguars Official podcast Network. Staying with
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: the Lawrence star Power conversation before last football season. We
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: saw him leverage that star power. He was a leader
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: in the social injustice matters of last summer for the
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: Clemson team and was a major part of the we
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: want to play narrative when conferences were deciding whether or
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: not to have a college football season. The voice of
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: the Clemson Tigers, Don Munson, joined me last Friday to
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: explain his work off the field was vital for this
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: past season to really go off. I think that this
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: past summer for for Trevor was of immense importance to
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: be where he is today as as the number one
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: overall pick in the draft, because he grew up as
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: a young man is what he did. He he realized
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: the platform that he had, He realized the significance that
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: he had in the college game. Certainly, he's the He
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: was the face of the Clemson program, and if you're
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: the face of the Clemson program, it means you're gonna
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: be one of the faces of college football at this
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: point in time. And he again, he just he went
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: out and he did the things that needed to be done.
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: He was he and a walk on. Darien Rencher, who
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: plays running back for us. Those were to the guys
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: here that in the social injustice part. They were the
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: ones that put together the zoom call with about players
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: from all over the country. And so that's where that
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: kind of started. And then you know that the hashtag
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: we want to play. You know, he was obviously behind
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: behind that as well. So he realizes that, I think
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: the influence that he can have in a community. Uh
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: and if you're not if you're not in Jacksonville and
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: you're not excited about that, just that one aspect that
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: he will bring to this franchise. Let me tell you
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: right now, he's already made your franchise way better without
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: ever playing it down. And he's he is just that
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: kind of of individual that is just going to draw
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: people to him and then and then when he's there,
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: he is a great servant leader. Believe me. I always
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: love to use the term do you wash other people's feet?
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence knows how to wash other people's feet, no
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: matter the age, no matter the race or the creed.
• 8:41

• 10:15
  Speaker 1: Late last week, we got the Clemson perspective of the
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence and Travis E t N selections from Eric McLane.
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: He's a former Clemson offensive lineman but is now an
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: analyst for a CC network and ESPN. We discussed how
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: Lawrence's play helped everyone around him on offense, plus what
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: strides eat N made for the Tigers, how did he
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: improve the play of those receivers and the skill guys
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: around him? And his three years of Clempson they were
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: pretty darn good anyway. But when you have that type
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: of accuracy and dependability at quarterback, it can only lift
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: all the ships. The rising tide raises all ships. It
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: feels like there's no question, and there's also no question
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: that he did have great receivers. I mean we look
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: at these guys in the league now, some guys that
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: are gonna be coming behind him, and I think, really,
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: you know, you saw that his sophomore year where you know,
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: maybe he was reliant too much on the receiver and
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: he would throw up some balls that he knew his
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: guys could make, but it was a dangerous pass. You
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: saw that evolution from sophomare to junior year where Okay,
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna throw guys open, I'm gonna throw you to
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: where you need to be and I'm gonna trust that
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: you can get there. And I think that's the difference
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: that you know he understands and it rightfully. So as
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: a sophomore, I mean, this guy just went undefeated, broke
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: every record possible as a freshman. Why not throw some
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: stuff up, let's see what happens. Uh. And then, like
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: I said, you saw him get better to where it's okay,
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna take it all in my control. He had
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: a little bit smaller receivers this year. He didn't have
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: that big you know, six four or six five T Higgins,
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: justin Ross who was hurt, who will be coming back
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: for Clemson, So he had to be much more accurate,
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: much more precise with his throws. But I think it's
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: great experience to have both. You know, if the Jaguars
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: go out and get a bigger, taller receiver, he's done that.
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: If they keep the guys that they have now, those
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: compact six two six ft receivers, He's used to throw
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: into those guys as well. Eric McLane with us from
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: a CC network, let's it also helps a quarterback with
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: a running game, and Travis E. T N is the
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: all time rushing leader in Atlantic Coast Conference history. He's
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: got that unbelievable speed. We've seen him and so many
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: breakaway touchdown plays at Clemson over the last four years
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: or so. How do you compare his game? Is there
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: back NFL back in the past do you do? Do
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: you even do that? First of all? In second, what
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: is the best part of his game to you? Yeah,
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: I think when you look at what he has become
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: and the evolution that we have seen Travis E. T
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: N over these last couple of years, You've got to
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: look at Alvin Kamara and a guy that is so
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: versatile as a receiver as a pass catcher out of
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: the backfield, but also very effective as a runner as well.
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: I think that's exactly what Travis can become or wasn't
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: college and can be in the NFL. It's all gonna
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: be about, you know what that coaching staff wants to
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: do with him. And that didn't just happen overnight. You know.
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: I remember early on his freshman year he couldn't catch
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: a pitch out of the backfield, let alone line up
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: in the slot and run a route. Uh. And now
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: he saw that he identified, Okay, this is a real
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: weakness of my game. I need to improve on it.
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: And spent hours and hours after practice not official workouts
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: with Trevor with a Maari Rodgers, a great receiver in
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: this draft, and said, I want to get better catching
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: the ball. So he's on the jug machine, he's on
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: the tennis ball machine catching on one hand, and he's
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: got the blinders where he can't see and can't look down,
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: you know, doing all this thing with hot hand eye coordination,
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: and you see the results. So so he is a
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: guy that is so committed to being the best version
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: of himself. Whatever the Jaguars asked, I mean, if it's
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: gained a little bit of weight, if it's get bigger,
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: here work on this. Uh, he's gonna do it, and
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: he's gonna do it very quickly and be very dedicated.
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: So when you look at his game, you talk about
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: what is the best piece, you know, it's got to
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: be just He's a home run waiting to happen. You know.
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: He came on my podcast. We discussed that, and that's
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: what I asked. I said, if I'm an NFL GM,
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: why am I drafting you? And then that's what he said,
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: you know, I am a touchdown waiting to happen. And
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: I think it's true. I mean, the guy scored seventy
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: eight touchdowns in his career. The a c C leader
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: was truly remarkable to watch, but catching the ball out
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: of the backfield, that's a close second. Our thanks to
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: everyone with ESPN and a CC Network for the conversation
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: with Eric McLane last week. Moving along to the ozone podcast,
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: John Osian's guest this week someone who's been around the
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: organization a good bit recently. NFL Network reporter Judy Batista.
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: She had insight access to Jaguar's owner's shod con late
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: last week and had more insight to Urban Meyer's sports
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: performance plans. Tell me about your impressions with Shod and
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: I dig a little deeper on his giddiness. What overall
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: is he most excited about. I think he's excited about
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: not just Trevor Lawrence person and not just urban Meyer
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: the person. But he called this a transformational moment for
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: the franchise. I think he just feels good about the
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: direction they're going in, refreshed about UM that you know,
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: the state of the franchise and the future of the franchise. UM.
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: He's obviously very excited about Trevor, but he the way
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: he put it to me was he felt like he
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: didn't just have the first overall draft pick in the draft,
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: but he also had the first overall pick of head coaches. UM.
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: He's not surprisingly very high on urban Meyer and on
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: all the things Urban wants to do UM to sort
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: of modernize the franchise. He you know, he was shot
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: was pretty candid about you know, you can have the
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: same principles about winning and and competing, but you've got
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: to have twenty one century practices. You can't have you
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: can't think that the game is being played and that
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: athletes are being handled the way they were in the
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: twentieth century. And expect to succeed in the twenty first century.
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: That's just not how it goes anymore. UM. And so
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: I think he feels quite good about the direction that
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: Urban Meyer is going to take the franchise in. I mean,
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: you know you know this, but I mean Urban has
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: his hands on everything, and he's been given really carte
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: blanche to reshape the franchise, you know, top down, UM.
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: And I talked to Urban quite a bit about that. Like,
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: you know, we always use the term culture change. How
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: do you change the culture of a franchise, UM, when
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: you can't even get on the field for five months?
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: I mean, what do you do in the meantime? Obviously
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: the best culture change is to win games? But what
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: do you do in the meantime to get to that point?
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: And so I talked to Urban for quite a while
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: about that. I guess the follow up, what did he say?
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: What were some of the high points, uh, that he
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: thinks he can get changed? Well, he really emphasized he
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: thinks the biggest change they've already made is too sports
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: performance And that's really, you know, like a catch all
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: term for how you take care of players, how you
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: treat play years. He really emphasizes like things should be
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: you should have the best of the best for the players,
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: Like this should be a franchise built around supporting the
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: players and doing everything you can to maximize the players,
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: which is not just good for the team, it's good
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: for the players, right. And and that means everything from
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: you know, nutrition, uh, treatment facilities, right, recovery facilities, um,
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: you know, personalized attention to their diets, personalized attention to
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: their weightlifting regiment, just everything geared to getting the most
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: out of players. And of course players like that. They
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: want their bodies to be taken care of and that
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: maximizes their career and obviously their earnings that go along
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: with it. And certainly it has benefits for the team, right,
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: I mean, if players are performing at their peak, that's
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: that's good for the team generally. So he really has
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: emphasized that, and he said he's been interested in that
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: since he was a receiver's coach at Colorado State, Like
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: he used to send his receivers to go run track
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: on the theory that the track coaches know how to
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: teach speed. He didn't know how to teach speed, but
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: they knew how to teach speed. So he's always been
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: sort of interested in that, and but he said, you know,
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: it's hard to do it at college. They did it
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: at Ohio State because they have obviously have big resources
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: at Ohio State, Bea says, most college programs, you know,
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: don't have those kinds of resources. Obviously, NFL teams have
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: those kinds of resources and you should be using them, right.
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: I mean, his feeling is, you know, the modern athlete,
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: as he put it, it's like a high performance sports
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: car and you have to maintain it like a high
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: performance sports car car or just like a sports car,
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: it will break down. You do not want players breaking down.
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: And he said he was really inspired by you know,
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: he would talk to his old players from Florida and
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: Ohio State who would go into the NFL and then
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: their careers would end kind of prematurely, and he and
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: ask him, you know, what the heck happened, like, you know,
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: I know, you've got gas left in the tank. And
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: they would tell him, you know, they don't take care
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: of your bodies in the NFL. And so that's always
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: been in his head that you know, you've got to
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: take care of these guys. And he wants, you know,
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: if guys want dry needling and acupuncture and plunge pools,
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: then that's what they should have. That Jaguars should be
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: supplying that. You know, you shouldn't have to go outside
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: to find somebody to do dry needling. Why wouldn't the
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: franchise provide that. So that was a big point of
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: emphasis for him, and I think it's going to be
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: a huge point of emphasis going forward for the franchise.
• 19:27

• 20:04
  Speaker 1: here seems pretty positive for the Jaguars. First NFL Draft
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: for Urban Meyer. Of course, Trent Balky has been through
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: this a few times. Them working together, it seemed like
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: a smooth transition, working with each other identifying the type
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: of players that Urban wants to the organization, and then
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: Balky executing the draft them together, going out and getting
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: the prototypical type guys that they want to build here. Yeah,
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: it was definitely a first off the bus draft. I mean,
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: when you look at the guys that they got, they
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: fit all the all the measurables that you'll be looking
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: for here. So a lot of them were high you know,
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: big time, big time recruits that I'm sure Urban had
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: a relationship with. And I talked to um at the
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: high school level and they a lot of name brand programs.
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: It was just, uh, yeah, it was interesting that it
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: was kind of a theme that kind of followed them
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: throughout this draft. But uh, they're gonna look, They're gonna
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: look the part when they get off the bus next year.
