Dante Fowler Jr. Tears ACL: Twitter Reacts
By Luke Sims
Dante Fowler Jr. won’t play in his rookie season after tearing his ACL on the first day of the Jacksonville Jaguars minicamp. It’s a tough break for the third overall selection in the 2015 NFL Draft and it’s a tough break for the Jaguars, who were hoping to make him a centerpiece to a much improved defense in 2015.
Instead, it’s all sorrow and sad news for the Jaguars and their fans.
Jaguars' 1st-round pick Dante Fowler tore his ACL and is out for the season, league source tells ESPN. Just wow.

Even people covering other teams wish bad things didn’t happen to people like Dante Fowler.
Unfortunately injuries happen in football. Just wish they didn't happen 8 days after reaching your dream of playing in the NFL.

Disbelief is sometimes the best way to attack terrible news.

Optimism and support could be the way to go for now.
What doesn't kill us makes us stronger. We will prove everyone wrong. #Jaguars #DTWD https://t.co/PT7aEsW58b

Sometimes Jacksonville Jaguars stats are just the worst. Way to pile on, ESPN.
Jaguars 1st-round pick Dante Fowler has a torn ACL, will miss season
— ESPN Stats & Info (@ESPNStatsInfo) May 8, 2015
Jaguars were 9-39 the last 3 seasons, worst in NFL in that span
Perhaps the saddest news is that Fowler didn’t even sign his contract before the injury. Good thing it shouldn’t be affected!
Dante Fowler yet to sign his contract but he's in line for a four-year, $23.5m deal that's fully guaranteed. Injury shouldn't affect that.
