Yeah no, "model teammates" don't try to fight their teammates.

Campbell is the real model, he was the one trying to stop the idiot from fighting the guy who was being immature.

LOL
Ngakoue took it upon himself to straighten out the problem child of his position group and you keep trying to twist it into some bad character thing. It's such a lame stretch.  His teammates praise him at every opportunity. He is considered a model teammate in that locker room. Read, learn, and stop repeating this idiotic slander. 

Caldwell:
[color=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.72)]″I think you guys all know in this room how both Doug and I feel about Yannick through our conversations over the years,″ Caldwell said last Tuesday. ″He is a tremendous player and even a better person. How he handled his business this year was tremendous. But I would say that’s priority No. 1 to make sure he comes back to Jacksonville and that he’s a Jacksonville Jaguar. Hopefully, we can get that done where he’s here for a long period of time.″[/color]

Marrone:

“He has been great," Marrone said Friday at TIAA Bank Field. "When you talk about a laser-like focus where … He is only one speed. He is 100 miles per hour working to get better every day.

If anything, you have to kind of pull him back a little bit. That is what you want as a coach. You want to be like, ‘Hey, just pull it back a little bit.’ He just goes. Always a smile on his face, he really loves football."

"You know how you always wonder, ‘What the hell are those coaches talking about when they are out there on the field pregame?’ Well, a lot of times those guys will be [saying], ‘Hey, that 91, that guy can go. He’s got a motor,'" Marrone said. "So, he’s got a lot of respect, not only in this building but around the league."

NFL coordinator and former Maryland coach:
“He doesn’t have any poor habits. He goes full speed all the time. And a lot of times, the best guy isn’t the biggest guy, the fastest guy or the guy with the best technique. It’s the guy who simply outworks other guys. That’s Yannick.”

Minshew:

“How he plays out there is just how he practices every day. He’s awesome and couldn’t ask more from a teammate," Jaguars quarterback Gardner Minshew II said about his teammate after the game. "As a player, he’s one of the best in the game too so hopefully we can keep him around because he’s a super special dude and great player.”

Campbell/Ngakoue:

"He plays with so much tenacity and he can change the game," Campbell said. "I mean when he stripped the ball away and caused the fumble it gave me the opportunity to pick up the ball and score a touchdown for the team."

The play was the perfect summarization of who Ngakoue is and what his principles are. He has always played with a prideful chip on his shoulder and flew around the field with reckless abandon. Tonight was no different.


“When I first got here, I was considered a third-down rusher. I was counted out. I was the 69th pick; I got passed up by all 32 teams three times," Ngakoue said in the locker room following the game. "I just tried to improve my run game while also trying to be a better leader for these guys.”
