6 best Jacksonville Jaguars wide receivers during Caldwell era
. Collin Johnson. 6. player. 52. .
How can Collin Johnson already be one of the best Jaguars’ wide receivers? The Texas standout had made become a key cog on Jacksonville’s offense since he joined the lineup in Week 12. Even though Johnson hasn’t started a game this season, his role has increased and has made the most out of it.
So far, Johnson has played 236 defensive snaps in 2020, 27.47 percent of the team’s total, and has hauled in 17 receptions for 264 yards and two touchdowns. Don’t be surprised if the Jaguars get him more involved in the last three games of the season.
Laviska Shenault Jr.. 5. player. 52. . .
This year’s draft was a good one to select a wide receiver. Justin Jefferson ranks seventh in receiving yards in the NFL and Tee Higgins is 222 yards away from reaching the 1,000-yard mark. The Jaguars took advantage of the depth at the position and chose Laviska Shenault Jr. with the 42nd overall pick in the second round.
Even though the Colorado standout missed a couple of games with a hamstring injury, he’s caught 42 passes for 441 yards and touchdowns. Offensive coordinator Jay Gruden has acknowledged that Shenault gives the Jaguars’ offense another dimension when he’s on the field.
