He turns 32 in October.</p> <p>How much longer he can play at a high level is a mystery, but the Jaguars are at a point where they can start thinking about drafting for down the road. In other words stashing a player who will eventually take his place.</p> <p>It’s hard not to love a kid like Anthony Walker. A try-hard linebacker who does everything asked of him.

The key for the Jaguars will be in how they are able to protect him.</p> <p>In other words, they have to keep opposing offensive line away from him.
