Black And Teal

● By Carlos Sanchez
When the Jacksonville Jaguars traded for Mac Jones earlier this year, they thought they were getting a capable backup who could keep the offense afloat in case Trevor Lawrence missed time. It didn't turn out that way, at least it didn't against the Minnesota Vikings in Week 10. With Trevor Lawrence dealing with a shoulder injury, Jones got the start against Minnesota. He was underwhelming, going 14-of-22 for 115 yards with no touchdowns and two interceptions. Granted, he didn't get much help from his receiver, but the point is that the former Alabama standout couldn't come through when the Jags needed him. But even if Jones were playing at a starting level, he's set to become a free agent next year, and given the demand at the position, his chances of returning to Jacksonville are slim. When you take into account that Lawrence has dealt with injuries the past two seasons, it would be a good idea to acquire a good backup in case he has to miss time (again). The Jags do precisely that in the third round of this year's draft.
