Quote:Some veteran players are better equipped to be leaders than others.   Considering what the Jaguars are paying Malik Jackson,  they need more from him than just good play on the field.

 

I still believe that Jalen Ramsey,  despite having a good start to his NFL playing career,   would benefit greatly from a veteran DB mentor who has had a highly accomplished NFL career.  

 

The opposite reaction was Vikings QB Sam Bradford throwing his helmet to the ground on the sideline after Redskins OLB/ DE Preston Smith had a 4th QTR zone drop interception off Bradford.    That's passion!

 

During the Chargers blowout in Week 2, DE Jared Odrick had a temper tantrum that included throwing his helmet on the sideline. His complaint was being called offsides when an offensive lineman moved first. It was just that kind of game - frustration keeps building up and is going to overflow at some point.

 

Somebody like Richard Sherman? It is a great idea if his mentor does not have yellow flag syndrome.
