Doesn't matter if he's out of position, at least you would be able to see a glimpse of something with his raw "athleticism" that he wow'ed our staff with during the combine. Clearly Baalke was fooled by the metrics.

Guy is not a pass-rusher whatsoever and has been a massive letdown.

Hesitate to call him an outright bust but he was clearly over drafted and Hutch should have been the pick. Baalke’s not the only guy to get all caught up in measurables though and ignore (lack of) actual production in college. If he signs a second contract in Jax, I’ll be mildly surprised.

Very true, there is way too much emphasis placed on the combine stats and I think that Travon's time with an all-time defense at Georgia might have obfuscated his true talent with all of the playmakers around him at the time. Thats what makes the draft challenging but taking a project at #1 overall is a massive reach.

I highly doubt he signs a second contract here in Jax with the way his career is going so far. He still has a little time to potentially reverse this sentiment about him this season, but I am just not seeing even a flash in the pan from him unfortunately... I hope he proves me wrong for our sake.
