The Jacksonville Jaguars have a lot of uncertainty in their passing game heading into 2019, but if some of their young receivers step up to help out Nick Foles, things might actually not be all that bad for the Jaguars' aerial attack.

One such receiver is DJ Chark, who is looking to bounce back after a rough rookie season.

“I feel like it’s a big year for me,” said Chark, according to John Oehser of the Jaguars' official team website. “I feel like as long as I’m doing that and holding myself accountable for what I do on the field, then the plays are going to come.”

Chark, who played his collegiate football at LSU, was originally selected by Jacksonville in the second round (61st pick overall) of the 2018 NFL Draft. However, he logged just 14 catches for 174 yards during his first year in the league.

Still, Jaguars offensive coordinator John DeFilippo likes what he has seen from Chark in training camp.

“DJ has greatly improved from spring,” DeFilippo said. “I think you see his confidence level in the offense, and in himself, at a really high level right now. It’s just consistency, and he has been more consistent than in the spring.

Jacksonville's passing offense ranked 26th in the league this past year, as Blake Bortles struggled mightily under center and the Jags didn't exactly have a whole lot of wide outs to help him out.
But with youngsters like Chark, Dede Westbrook, and Chris Conley, not to mention veteran Marqise Lee, the Jaguars could surprise some people this coming season.
