Jaguars cornerback Zech McPhearson talked to News4JAX sports reporter Alessandra Pontbriand about going through his first training camp with the team after initially joining the practice squad at the beginning of last season. He reflected on the differences between his first three seasons with the Eagles and his experience so far with the Jaguars. McPhearson emphasized the importance of having the right mentality during training camp, staying locked in and ready to compete every day.
