When is the future? OK, this isn’t a “takeaway,” exactly, but a big part of the future of the Jaguars’ running game reported and spoke to the media on Monday. That was not only running back T.J. Yeldon
, but offensive guard A.J. Cann as well. Yeldon, the No. 36 overall selection in the 2015 NFL Draft from Alabama, is expected to be the Jaguars’ feature back sooner rather than later. That may nor may not mean being the Week 1 starter, but he was impressive in organized team activities and minicamp and his presence not only gives the Jaguars a potential every-down back, it makes the running back position much deeper than last season. Cann, the Jaguars’ third-round selection from South Carolina, will open camp behind veteran Zane Beadles, but that’s expected to be a competitive position sooner rather than later – and perhaps in training camp. Cann, a physical, mauling run-blocker, appears to be a good fit as the Jaguars move from a zone-blocking to a gap-blocking approach under assistant head coach-offense/offensive line coach Doug Marrone. Cann worked mostly with the second-team during OTAs and minicamp. “Whoever the coaches think is the better player, they’ll figure it out,” he said.
