Chark: Jaguars are 'gonna shock a lot of people' in 2021
The Jacksonville Jaguars are coming off a 1-15 campaign, but wide receiver DJ Chark believes the club is poised to bounce back in a major way in 2021.
"The 1-15 season is somewhere that we don't want to go back. Everyone that's here understands that," Chark said to NFL Network's Omar Ruiz. "The guys that came in came from a lot of winning programs, so we're trying to develop that winning culture and just that comradery here, and I think we're going to do really good.
"I think we're gonna shock a lot of people. I'm not one of the people that's huge on setting record goals or anything like that, or saying how many wins or losses we're gonna have, but we're gonna be an exciting football team, for sure."
The Jaguars have undergone numerous changes since last year's poor effort. The team hired Urban Meyer as head coach while also selecting former Clemson quarterback Trevor Lawrence with the No. 1 overall draft pick.
Alongside Chark, who is entering his fourth season in Jacksonville, the Jaguars have focused on surrounding Lawrence with numerous weapons, drafting running back Travis Etienne in addition to signing wideout Marvin Jones in free agency.
Jacksonville has struggled in recent years, making the postseason just once since 2008.
