Standart Jaguars Training Camp Etienne Walker and

The Jacksonville Jaguars are gearing up for Day 7 of training camp on Monday, putting the first week of camp officially behind them.Six practices in seven days under the hot and unforgiving Florida sun have tested the Jaguars, who started wearing shoulder pads on Saturday and had their first day in complete pads on Sunday. Over the first week, we have seen some growth, some i sues and some players stand out in a big way."We're all in this. We're in this evaluation phase. That's what training camp is about. It's about evaluating," Jaguars head coach Doug Pederson said on Sunday.So, which Jaguars are Yasiel Puig Jersey the winners of the first week of practice and have stood out the most among their peers? We break it down below.Travis EtienneThere is no question who the Jaguars' most impre sive offensive player was during the first week of camp. Travis Etienne entered camp with high expectations after an impre sive spring of OTAs, and so far he has done anything but disappoint. Trevor Lawrence had his good days and certainly flashed high-end talent, but the secondary has suffocated the pa sing game in recent days. The same can't be said about the running game, though, which has seemingly popped off one to two big runs each practice. This effort has primarily been led by Etienne, last year's No. 25 overall pick."Yeah, it's exciting to see him and where he's come from, how he's kind of battled to get himself back on the football field. It appears that he hasn't lost the explosivene s, which is good," Pederson said on Sunday. "You have to understand, too, he's a young player that mi sed everything last year. And so I don't want to treat him that way. But at the same time, we have to understand that there's going to be some mistakes, but to see those types of runs, credit to the other 10 guys but good to see."Etienne has been able to explode for big runs consistently throughout camp, both around the edge and up the middle. Add in the unique ways the Jaguars have moved him around the offense and it looks like they could have big plans for their dynamic running back.Travon WalkerOne player who has gotten better and better as the week has gone on is outside linebacker Travon Walker. The No. 1 overall pick has flashed more and more as camp as progre sed and the contact has increased. The last two days alone have shown Walker do a good job of setting a hard edge against the run and explode into the backfield as a pa s-rusher, whether on the edge or when lined up inside at defensive tackle in pa s Julio Urias Jersey -rush drills."I think just as he gets more comfortable with the defense. I know Coach Caldwell is really throwing a lot at the defensive guys with information and volume, and again, that's what we need to see as we keep progre sing here in camp, just how these young guys handle the volume. Travon Justin Turner Jersey being been one of those guys," Pederson said on Sunday."And so far, it's been good. He studies well, student of the game. He's hard on himself. If he makes a mistake, he usually doesn't make the same mistake again. And that's good to see from young guys."Walker's first day in pads showed just how much of a problem he might be for offensive linemen even early in his career. As camp goes on, it will be important to watch Walker and see if he continues to build on his game and improve as he did during the first week.Roy Robertson-HarrisIf there is any non-edge defender who has been consistently disruptive so far in camp, it has been veteran defensive lineman Roy Robertson-Harris. Robertson-Harris had a big spring and a string of impre sive games to finish the 2021 season, and he seems to have carried it over to training camp.Robertson-Harris has been a handful as a pa s-rusher, frequently pushing the pocket and forcing quarterbacks to flush out, coming close to a few sacks thanks to his length and explosion. He has also made plays against the run seemingly in each practice, with his burst proving too much for most blockers.Montaric BrownThe Jaguars' seventh-round pick in this year's draft, Montaric Brown has quickly found his way onto the depth chart. Brown has flashed throughout camp against the second-team offense, doing enough with his reps to find himself on the second-team defense acro s from Chris Claybrooks, giving him a step over sixth-round pick Gregory Juinor.Brown has done well against the Jaguars' young receivers such as Kevin Austin, but he has also made plays against veterans like Laquon Treadwell. It will be fascinating to see how Brown plays as the Jaguars continue to put their defense together and even have more 1-on-1s between cornerbacks and receivers.Scroll to ContinueBenji FranklinOne of the Jaguars' most impre sive rookies so far has been undrafted cornerback Benji Franklin, who has seemingly made one pa s breakup each day. Joc Pederson Jersey The Jaguars are still looking for cornerback depth after their first four corners, and Franklin has certainly done enough to make his own case.Franklin has had several impre sive pa s breakups, a near-interception and a big pick-six of Jake Luton, one of two interceptions the Jaguars have recorded this camp. It is getting harder and harder to not want to see more Franklin, and it seems like he has a shot to battle for a spot on this year's roster.Brandon ScherffIt is clear why the Jaguars paid Brandon Scherff big money this offseason. The former Washington guard has a Pro Bowl and All-Pro background for a reason and he has proven that he is worth the price tag so far in camp, having a pair of impre sive back-to-back days as the Jaguars have put pads on.Scherff has been strong in pa s-protection and has also been notably dominant as a run-blocker, helping pave the way for a big Etienne run on Sunday. Scherff could be the best player on the roster and nothing during the first week of camp has suggested this isn't the case.Lujuan WinninghamThe undrafted rookie receiver has been one of the standout receivers of camp so far. He has done most of his work against the backup defenses, but that doesn't take away from the fact that he has made some of the most impre sive catches of camp, both downfield and in the middle of the field.Winningham has stood out more than the other undrafted rookie wideouts the Jaguars added this offseason. Now that they are in pads, it will be interesting to see if he can keep the hot hand and stake a claim for a spot on the Jaguars' wide receiver depth chart.Rayshawn JenkinsA year after Yasmani Grandal Jersey signing a big deal with the Jaguars in free agency, Rayshawn Jenkins has been one of the most impre sive players in camp so far. He has had a few big hits against the run, even before pads have come on, and he had a great showing in the red-zone a few days ago. Add in a few other pa s breakups and a near-interception of Trevor Lawrence on Sunday and it has been a good camp for Jenkins.Outside of his strong play, Jenkins has also been a clear vocal leader for the Jaguars' defense and secondary. He was a captain last year and has seemingly set himsel
