Travon Walker has high expectations for the future of the Jaguars.
A few weeks after the game, Walker spoke about the play and the growth that came out of it.
But it was a time of growth for Walker and his teammates. Coming out of that stretch they won seven of their next nine games to qualify for the playoffs and became darlings of the league as they played their way into the Divisional Round of the AFC Playoffs. It’s that humbleness mixed with his lowkey persona that makes him a good building block of Jacksonville’s future. Mixed with his ability to play in multiple positions along the defensive line — something Doug Pederson hinted at in his end of year availability.
“You’re always looking at young players, and usually that step between year one and year two is the biggest jump that these guys have as players, but I think he did a lot of nice things,” Baalke said. “That stat number that everybody has in their mind of sacks is, in a lot of ways, very overvalued. There’s a lot of ways to influence a game, and I think Travon, you saw him do it, whether it be the run or the pass, he had an impact this year, and it’s only going to get better from here.
