Laviska Shenault Jr. Has Stepped Up This Offseason
4 years agoJacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Laviska Shenault Jr. has arguably been the team's best offensive player throughout organized team activities and minicamp this offseason. It's an important development due to the addition of Marvin Jones and presence of D.J. Chark. Rookie running back Travis Etienne has also been getting repetitions at receiver. The Jags are using Shenault as a receiver instead of trying to use him in the backfield, and his development as a pass-catcher has been a highlight of the spring. The 22-year-old wasn't overly impressive in his rookie season, but he was also working with quarterbacks Gardner Minshew II, Jake Luton and Mike Glennon. With first overall pick Trevor Lawrence now under center and Shenault likely to move to the slot, expect an improvement in Year 2.
