JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - The Jacksonville Jaguars have added five coaching interns for training camp, including former Alabama assistant Bo Davis.

Davis, who also coached under Nick Saban at LSU and with the Miami Dolphins, resigned in late April amid an NCAA investigation into possible recruiting violations.

Davis worked primarily with the defensive line at Alabama, which was the Tide's strength during its national championship run last season. Davis was named National Recruiter of the Year by Scout.com in 2016. He will work with special teams with the Jaguars.

The Jaguars also have Super Bowl XXXVII MVP Dexter Jackson, former NFL receiver Chad Lucas and former NFL running backs Leon Washington and Shawn Bryson as camp interns. Jackson and Lucas will help with the defense while Washington and Bryson focus on the offensive side of the ball.
