JACKSONVILLE – The Jaguars are Senior Bowl-bound.
Actually, it's more accurate to say some of the Jaguars are bound for the Senior Bowl, because the team's presence at the college all-star game in Mobile, Alabama, will be far more limited this year than in recent seasons.
The Jaguars' coaching staff coached the South team in the game each of the last three seasons. With Doug Marrone having replaced Gus Bradley as head coach – and with the Jaguars still in the final stages assembling a coaching staff – Marrone will not attend this year's event.
General Manager David Caldwell and many of the Jaguars' scouts will work the game. Jaguars Executive Vice President of Football Operations Tom Coughlin also is not scheduled to attend.
We'll have coverage of Senior Bowl week on jaguars.com Tuesday through Thursday, but for now, here's a position-by-position look at the Senior Bowl:
