NFL Huddle

Filed under: Jaguars, NFL Draft

The Jacksonville Jaguars had seven of eight home games blacked out last season.

Fewer than 50,000 went to each of their first six home dates, and it wasn't until the Jags rolled to a 7-5 record -- and wedged themselves into the playoff hunt -- that the locals got interested enough to send 60,000 to the season's final two games at Jacksonville Memorial Stadium. The opponents were the in-state rival Miami Dolphins and then-undefeated Indianapolis Colts. The Jags lost both, along with their final two road games, to finish 7-9.

So what is there to get the North Florida masses excited about with the 2010 Jags?

How 'bout bringing in the guy who played the last four years about 90 minutes away and fared fairly well for the state's flagship university?

Yeah, that guy.
