However his blocking has contributed to a highly-skilled, rushing attack from the Jacksonville Jaguars. He is currently not playing for the Jacksonville Jaguars due to the fact that he is no longer a player for the team. In other words he is no longer a player for the Jacksonville Jaguars. He is currently employed at the Detention Center in Taylor County.
