Who will be the Jaguars Comeback Player of 2019?

After a season many Jacksonville Jaguars would love to forget, which one will stand out and become the Comeback Player of the year in 2019?

Who will make the biggest leap from 2018 to 2019 for the Jacksonville Jaguars? Which player will rebound from poor performance or lack of productivity?

The staff here at Black and Teal gives you their predictions as to who they think will come back this season and show improvement over the disaster of the 5-11 record from last year.

Mufaso Sends – A player that has shown great flashes yet not established a certainty, Keelan Cole finds himself running routes for his best quarterback yet. With the best line in years boosting overall offensive play, I believe Cole defies expectations and grabs over 800 yards receiving.

Anthony Robertson – The Comeback Jaguar of the Year is tough simply because so many players were injured last season especially on offense. I think that this award can go to many different people, but the player who I believe will be most deserving will be left tackle, Cam Robinson.

He suffered a knee injury that left him out for most of last season, but he will prove to be a vital part of the offense this year opening holes for our running backs and provide protection to Nick Foles which will help our passing attack.

Kathy Clark – I put a lot of thought into this and feel that my MIP candidate must be candidates.

Why? Keelan Cole and DJ Chark both had subpar seasons in 2018 despite great potential. Cole had a top rookie season in 2017 and Chark was a second-round draft choice last season. Due to a variety of factors including injuries, a limited running game, poor team chemistry, and poor quarterback play they never got on track.

2019 boasts a new quarterback and offensive coordinator. New leadership, healthy teammates, and a revamped running game will allow Cole and Chark to shine.

Jess Overby – After a strong first year where he showed great hands and athletic ability, Keelan Cole’s productivity dropped off markedly last year as the Jaguar’s offense struggled when the offensive line was decimated by injuries.

With a healthy line, the Jaguars offense has the opportunity to become a strength. The wide receiver corps as a group had a terrible year, and I believe that group has a chance to turn around this year. I expect Cole to have the biggest comeback on the team and become a leader in receptions and scoring where he’ll make numerous highlight-reel catches.

David Levin – I’m going to take a different route than my fellow Black and Teal writers. The Jaguars made changes to their interior defensive line by releasing Malik Jackson. The coaching staff hopes the progress Taven Bryan showed toward the end of the season will continue in 2019.

Bryan has been maligned as the team’s first-round pick in 2018 and the lack of production for the majority of his rookie campaign. He played out of position at the big end spot, but found a home inside in a rotation that featured the former Florida Gator and Abry Jones. Bryan’s development will be key this season, with the Jaguars changing some of their personnel in obvious running situations.
