Quote: The Jaguars will play a 4-3.

And Josh Allen won’t be playing linebacker.

“Josh Allen was drafted to be a defensive end,” Wash said Thursday shortly before the Jaguars’ fifth 2019 organized team activities practice at the Dream Finders Homes Practice Complex adjacent to TIAA Bank Field.

Allen, the No. 7 overall selection in the 2019 NFL Draft, played outside linebacker extensively at the University of Kentucky and was projected by many as a hybrid linebacker/edge defender – perhaps ideal for a 3-4 scheme. He was good in coverage at Kentucky, which Wash acknowledged Thursday.

“He did a real nice job of dropping in college,” Wash said, adding “I can’t honestly say being a [former] D-Line [defensive line coach] that I get too excited about a 15-sack guy dropping into coverage.

“Hopefully, you won’t see too damned much of that.”
