5 Jaguars who are already turning heads at OTAs

Organized Team Activities allow NFL teams to focus on fundamentals since pads aren't permitted and contact is prohibited. In the case of the Jacksonville Jaguars, they'll have a chance to get their rookies and free-agent acquisitions up to speed. On top of that, defensive coordinator Ryan Nielsen will be busy installing his system.

As noted before, contact isn't allowed, but that hasn't stopped a handful of players from turning heads. Either because they're getting quickly acclimated or putting their playmaking skills on full display, these five have stood out.

RS Devin Duvernay is turning heads at Jaguars OTAs

The Jaguars have made a considerable investment in their return game these past few years. Back in 2021, they signed Jamal Agnew. With Agnew becoming a free agent in March, the front office brought in Devin Duvernay to take his place.

A two-time Pro Bowl nod with the Baltimore Ravens, Duvernay should have an immediate impact in kickoffs. On top of that, he will probably become a steady contributor on offense. Last year, he only caught four passes but he tallied 37 in 2022 and 33 the year prior.

Already, Duvernay is making a positive impression. On the first day of OTAs, he reeled in a one-hand catch that set the internet ablaze.

Coincidentally, the NFL is making changes to the kickoff rules in hopes of making the play relevant once again. With the number of fair catches going up in recent years, the league adopted the XFL version to increase the number of returns.

Under the new rule, which will be put on trial next season, returners will become a valuable commodity. The Jags have a good one in Duvernay. Add the fact that they'll pay him an annual average of $4.25 million and it looks like they'll be getting plenty of bang for their buck.
