Which Jacksonville Jaguars jersey should I buy for the new season?

With a new season comes one of the most important decisions Jacksonville Jaguars fans have to make. Which jersey should they buy.

The Jacksonville Jaguars season will begin in some fashion. The draft is in the books, free agency has brought in new faces. The schedule has been announced, and the pundits have made predictions. So the burning question is “What jersey should I buy for the upcoming season?”

If you go to a Jaguars game you will see a variety of jerseys. Every player from Tony Boselli, Mark Brunell, Fred Taylor, Maurice Jones-Drew, Telvin Smith, Blake Bortles, and more are represented. The current jersey I have is a Jalen Ramsey that I bought after I retired my Taylor and Jones-Drew favorites. I loved Ramsey as a player and thought he would be on the team for many years to come.

But, it’s time for a new jersey. So who do I choose?

The obvious choices are Gardner Minshew, DJ Chark, and Josh Allen. Although they are young, they have proven themselves to be worthy of a jersey purchase. Jerseys are not cheap and it would be great to find one to last for several years. After my Ramsey disaster, I am hesitant to look at the obvious. My goal is to find a player who has staying power.

My first choice is another former Gator named Taylor. I am talking about Jawaan Taylor.  Number 75 is our second-year right tackle.

"“[Jawaan] Taylor made his mark as a rookie, becoming an Ironman performer. Not only did Taylor start all 16 games for Jacksonville but he ended up being the only rookie in the entire NFL to play 100% of his units snaps in 2019,” writes John Shipley of Sports Illustrated."

Coach Doug Marrone commented that he will be a very good football player. He played well as a rookie and worked hard on improving his skills. That’s good enough for me.

My next veteran jersey choice is No. 44 worn by Myles Jack. He has been asked to play out of position at middle linebacker for the past two years but the move back to the outside will showcase his many talents. During his four years in the NFL, he has made 287 tackles, has had 5.5 sacks and two interceptions, and scored a touchdown. He is still young and has plenty of room to grow. He is athletic, fast, and has great instincts. He knows what it takes in the NFL and I am all in on Myles Jack.

My rookie jersey buy would be edge rusher, No. 45, K’Lavon Chaisson.

Why did I choose him? This is what USA Today’s Jacob Infante had to say.

"“Chaisson has tremendous first-step quickness and has dynamic flexibility when he rushes the passer….he can make plays with raw speed as a backside defender and drop back in coverage.”"

With Josh Allen on one side and Chaisson on the other, how can the rookie from LSU not become a force on the defense. I think he will be a great player on the Jacksonville Jaguars roster.

My free agent jersey choice is easy. He is No. 47 Joe Schobert, a middle linebacker. He is young at only 26 and his size is good at 6’ 1” and 245 pounds. I am hoping he will become the new version of Paul Posluszny. He had 133 tackles and 4 interceptions during the 2019 season while playing for Cleveland. Impressive stats for a guy on a dysfunctional team.

These are very solid players who in the right situation can become great contributors for the Jaguars.  Which one will I buy? Right now No. 75 is on my radar.
