Dede Westbrook In A Better Place Entering Second Season
6 years agoJacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Dede Westbrook isn't lost in the playbook and is healthy and confident entering his second season in the NFL. As a rookie he was overwhelmed trying to learn an offense that differed from his college program, and a core muscle injury kept him out of the first nine games. "It's totally different," Westbrook said, comparing his first two training camps. "Of course, everything is better when you're healthy. Actually being in there, repping out the plays, learning play by play is a lot easier. I feel more comfortable in the offense this year." He's developed a reputation for making tough catches each day in training camp. Westbrook had 27 catches for 339 yards and a touchdown in his rookie season, but he should be able to produce more in 2018. There are just too many bodies -- Marqise Lee, Keelan Cole, DJ Chark, Donte Moncrief -- in the wide receiver room for Westbrook to have a big enough role in 2018. The Jaguars are also a run-first team, so Westbrook should struggle to consistently produce for fantasy owners.
