More comments about Jaguars staff on Jack, included his knee  (I added some of these on the first post of this thread): (article from Hays Carlyon)

 

It isn’t hard to spot the gleam in Jaguars general manager Dave Caldwell and coach Gus Bradley’s eyes when UCLA outside linebacker Myles Jack’s name is mentioned.

The true junior has dazzled scouts with his athleticism on film. The Jaguars brass looks to be enamored as well with Jack’s ability to bring a unique combination of coverage and rush skills to a defense woeful on third down last season.

The Jaguars conducted their draft luncheon on Friday at EverBank Field and Caldwell and Bradley took dozens of questions about several players that could be options for the Jaguars with the fifth-overall pick in Thursday’s first round.

However, their responses to Jack (and body language) stood out.

Caldwell and Bradley traveled to UCLA to work Jack out privately on April 16. Jack’s final season ended in the third game when he injured his right knee. The true junior did not participate in the NFL Scouting Combine or at UCLA’s pro day, but is seven months removed from the injury.

“We’ve always scheduled that we would do it privately,” Caldwell said. “He looked good. We put him through linebacker drills, change of direction, drops, bag drills.”

Bradley was impressed with Jack, especially considering the fatigue he’s under from the draft process. Elite prospects travel to several teams for visits and conduct private workouts at home in addition to their training. Jack visited EverBank Field on April 5.

“I had a chance to visit with him for quite a while [at UCLA],” Bradley said. “We had some time here and then some time there, so that part was good. Then, we put him through position-specific drills that are really based on our scheme and I thought he did a really good job with that. He’s travelled a lot, so I was really impressed with him.”

Jack, who doesn’t turn 21 until September, started 28 games for the Bruins, recording 178 tackles with four interceptions and 23 pass breakups.

The feeling from several reporters after the event was that Jack is their man.
