5 takeaways from Day 5 of Jags training camp

5 takeaways from Day 5 of Jags training camp

After taking Friday off, the Jacksonville Jaguars returned to the practice field Saturday for Day 5 at Episcopal School of Jacksonville. It was once again an eventful day as the team was in shells and started the process of moving into fully padded practices, which will begin on Day 6.

Day 5’s session came after a Day 4 practice where the defense stood out in red zone drills, so many were eager to see if Trevor Lawrence and the offense would bounce back. He did just that, though there were some drops from his receivers.

However, Lawrence wasn’t the only No. 1 pick who caught the eyes of onlookers as Travon Walker flashed, too. While it’s early, that’s likely music to the ears of the fans, as both will be a big part of the 2022 season.

Alongside the tidbits about both No. 1 selections, here are some takeaways from Day 5’s practice:

Travon Walker already in his element as the shells go on

The Jacksonville Jaguars held their third day of training camp Wednesday, July 27, 2022, at the Episcopal School of Jacksonville Knight Campus practice fields on Atlantic Blvd. Walker said he was ready for the pads to go on earlier this week, and with the team putting shells on, he wasted no time doing what the Jags drafted him to do. News4Jax’s Jamal St. Cyr said Walker “spent a considerable amount of time in the backfield” Saturday, while Josh Allen came up with two back-to-back “sacks.”

Of course, this is important because the Jags spent the No. 1 overall pick on Walker this April, and with that, fans have been very excited to see what he can do. Many national experts have been curious about him as well because some questioned whether he should be the top pick of the draft over notables like Aidan Hutchinson, Evan Neal, and Ikem Ekwonu.

That said, it’s good to see Walker stand out early in camp, but there are several practices left to be had, and it will be interesting to see if Walker continues to stand out heading forward.
