Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver corps: Midseason rankings
The Jacksonville Jaguars’ top 2 wideouts are among the 45 best in the NFL.
The Jaguars chose Colorado wide receiver Laviska Shenault Jr. with their second-round pick, the 42nd overall in this year’s players’ selection process. While eight other wideouts were taken before him, the ‘Jags’ should be excited about the former Buffalo.
He has played in all seven games this season and started all but one, the Jaguars Week 2 matchup against the Tennessee Titans. He’s played in 65.51 percent of the team’s snaps on offense and looks like the best selection this Jacksonville team made in 2020’s draft.
How many of you thought Keelan Cole Sr. was going to be the Jaguars leading receiver after seven weeks of NFL football before the season started? The Kentucky Wesleyan product hauled in a career-high 748 receiving yards and three touchdowns back in 2017, his rookie campaign.
This year, he has caught 28 passes for 374 yards and three touchdowns and is on pace to have the best year of his career. Whether is in Jacksonville or with another team, he’s also on his way to getting paid after the 2020 season finalizes.
