The former Utes standout will try to take his game to another level in 2024
Devin Lloyd has already made an impact with the Jacksonville Jaguars. The first round pick of the 2022 NFL Draft has rapidly become a cornerstone of the team's defense. He has brought a blend of athleticism, intelligence, and versatility that immediately elevated the Jaguars' defensive unit.
Lloyd's presence is felt in both run defense and pass coverage. His ability to read offenses and make quick, decisive plays has disrupted opposing teams' game plans. His speed and agility allow him to cover a wide range of the field, making it difficult for offenses to exploit the middle and short passing routes.Also, his tackling ability and physicality have also strengthened the Jaguars' run defense, turning him into a reliable stopper against the ground game.
Brooks wrote, "Lloyd could be the biggest benefactor of the Jaguars' scheme change under new DC Ryan Nielsen. The third-year pro could reprise his role as a SAM linebacker, which helped him earn high marks as a prospect in the 2022 draft class. A unique playmaker with instincts, awareness and pass-rushing skills, Lloyd can make his mark as a linebacker who attacks from all angles.
Beyond his physical skills, Lloyd's football IQ has been a significant asset. He demonstrates a keen understanding of offensive schemes, which enables him to anticipate plays and position himself effectively. This anticipation often results in crucial stops and turnovers, swinging momentum in the Jaguars' favor. His leadership on the field, despite being a young player, has also been noteworthy.
Overall, Lloyd's impact on the Jaguars extends far beyond his statistical contributions. He has emerged as a defensive anchor and a leader, helping to transform the Jaguars into a more competitive and cohesive unit. His continued development promises to be a crucial factor in the team's future success.
