Jaguars
Jaguars OC Press Taylor said QB Mac Jones has been a โspongeโ and has worked hard to learn the teamโs offense.
โMacโs done a great job just getting in here and learning the offense. Heโs a sponge. He loves learning football, talking football,โ Taylor said, via John Shipley of SI. โHeโs constantly in the building, heโs constantly asking questions, heโs constantly talking, which one thing, like, โhey, shut up, I have to give you a play call real quick.โ He just runs his mouth all the time, which is fun. It makes practice fun. Heโs chirping with the DBs all the time. Itโs hard right now when we donโt have helmets on so thereโs no headset communicator. I have to physically get him to come talk to me to give him the next play call.โ
Taylor added that the biggest curve with Jones is just communication, as heโs run a vast majority of their concepts in the past.
โHeโs done a great job just learning. You see his experience. Heโs played a lot of football. All the concepts we run heโs run at some point in time,โ Taylor said. โSome of it is translating and then you try as quickly as you can to get away from the old language you have. You canโt keep telling yourself, oh, this is this. Well, this is this and at a certain point itโs got to go away and itโs got to be this is this. This is how we communicate. This is our language. Heโs done that. Heโs playing quicker each day that he gets, every rep he gets. Weโre glad we have him.โ

Titans
Titans new OL coach Bill Callahan had good things to say about first-round OT JC Lathamโs work ethic.
โ(Latham is) built a little bit differently from the mental aspect from most first-rounders Iโve been around,โ Callahan said, via Jim Wyatt of the teamโs website. โHeโll always do the extra, heโs always out here everyday. Of course, you know the story about (general manager) Ran (Carthon) chasing him out of the rain here a few weeks ago.โ
