This offseason has come with many hurdles for players in the NFL due to COVID-19, especially the rookies. Most have yet to join their respective teams for as much as one workout, or even settle in to the respective cities they will be playing in.
Up until this week, Jaguars rookie receiver Laviska Shenault Jr. was among the many rookies who hasn’t been able to settle in at the city of Jacksonville. That said, he made his arrival to Duval official Monday via his newly made YouTube channel. In his first video, Shenault was seen at TIAA Bank Field while expressing his excitement to meet the community and teammates.
Shenault was selected by the Jags with the No. 42 overall selection in April’s draft out of the University of Colorado. He was a versatile weapon for the Buffaloes, playing receiver, slot receiver, wildcat quarterback, and running back. He finished his career with 149 catches for 1,943 receiving yards and 10 touchdowns.
With the Jags lacking weapons on the offensive end, the hope is that he can now bring that same versatility to the roster and aid Gardner Minshew II to greater heights. Hopefully, he’ll be able to also join D.J. Chark Jr. and an outside receiver, giving the Jags a weapon who can garner intermediate and short passes for the offense.
