JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Losing linebacker and edge rusher Arden Key in free agency has further highlighted the need for the Jags to draft a solid pass rusher in the upcoming NFL Draft.
One name that's been linked to the Jags is former Tennessee Volunteers defensive lineman Byron Young, who is considered one of the top edge rushers in this year's NFL Draft.
Young is described as athletic and twitchy and was an All-SEC selection last season at Tennessee, where he racked up seven sacks and 12 tackles for loss in his final season with the Vols.
Young also shined at the combine with a 4.43 40-yard dash and 11-foot broad jump and could be just the player the Jags need to get after the opposing quarterback.
