On Thursday of the NFL combine, the linebackers were one of the position groups to go through the on-field testing portion of the event. This position could be a big need for the Jacksonville Jaguars this offseason.
That will be dependent on whether or not Devin Lloyd returns in free agency. If he ends up signing elsewhere, James Gladstone’s urgency to address this unit may come down to how confident he is in Ventrell Miller, Jack Kiser, or Jalen McLeod stepping into a starting role next to Foye Oluokun, or if he believes more competition is needed.
