Miami Dolphins at Jacksonville Jaguars
Rookies Debuting
Linebacker Dion Jordan (Dolphins, #3-overall)
Offensive Tackle Luke JoeckelĀ (Jaguars, #2-overall pick)
Thereās a very good chance weāll get to see two of the top-3 players in this yearās draft go up against each other, as Jordan may very well be lined up overĀ Joeckel, and weāll get to see the highest-drafted defensive lineman square-off against the arguably the best offensive tackle in this class.Ā Joeckel hopes to solidify an offensive line that gave up 50 sacks last season.
Jordan played only on third-down situations in Miamiās 24-20 preseason loss to the Dallas Cowboys.Ā He still managed to record two tackles and two quarterback pressures in his NFL debut.Ā Heās currently behind second-year defensive endĀ Olivier VernonĀ on the depth chart.
