The Jacksonville Jaguars hired Gus Bradley to build the blueprint he had in Seattle with head coach Pete Carroll. Bradley has revamped this team in Florida with a young gunslinger at quarterback in Blake Bortles and a defense with playmakers at every position. Just this year, the franchise managed to draft two bonafide first round talents: Jalen Ramsey and Myles Jack. Both are expected to be huge contributors this season.

This year seems to be the season for Bradley and the Jaguars. Houston Texans are figuring out their offense with new quarterback Brock Osweiler; Indianapolis Colts add their franchise quarterback Andrew Luck, but it will be the defense expected to be heavily relied upon, yet again; Tennessee Titans are the wild card team in the division with their new toy at quarterback and additions of DeMarco Murray and Derrick Henry make for a difficult test.

If the Jaguars make the playoffs, Bradley will be the likely choice for the franchise. The team has not reached the postseason since 2007 after reaching the Divisional Round against the New England Patriots. Bradley has the team roaring to be noticed yet again. The 2016 NFL season for the Jaguars should bring excitement, as they are my choice to win the division.
