JACKSONVILLE, Fla. Its a much different offseason for the Jaguars, but Doug Marrone said that the team is making the best of it. Marrone met with the media Friday afternoon to talk about Jacksonvilles offseason program that has been pushed into the virtual realm due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Marrone said that its challenging to get the full effect of a traditional offseason program when coaches and players arent around one another, but theyre doing the best that they can. The Jaguars will put Ben Bartch, a fourth-round draft pick, at right guard, presumably behind starter AJ Cann. Marrone said that hes enjoyed hearing from players about their work in the offseason, including that of backup quarterback Dobbs.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. Playing quarterback in the NFL isnt even the most complex task in Joshua Dobbs life. The Jaguars probably have the most interesting quarterback room in the NFL. I was supposed to do this, I was actually supposed to use the flaps. I actually figured out this is how a plane works.One day, Dobbs said he would love to work for NASA. But right now, Dobbs is focused on being the best NFL quarterback he can be.
