Nathan Rourke Shows Promise In First NFL Game
1 year agoJacksonville Jaguars quarterback Nathan Rourke impressed against the Cowboys, going 9-for-17 for 153 yards and a score, also logging a rushing touchdown in the victory. The rookie out of Ohio started the second half and outshined C.J. Beathard, who tossed for 80 yards throughout four drives in the first two quarters. Rourke led two touchdown drives that helped the Jags secure the victory. He also made arguably the highlight of the preseason when he escaped a sure-fire sack of four crashing defenders and tossed a 21-yard strike to Qadree Ollison while getting hit. The former CFL standout is still likely behind the veteran Beathard in the quarterback pecking order. Still, if he keeps making plays like the one he made on Saturday, the Jaguars will have no choice but to consider him for Trevor Lawrence's top backup. Both quarterbacks are only on the fantasy radar if Lawrence goes down.
