This the worst possible headline for a newspaper story about Myles Jack

It’s amazing it took this long to get an unfortunate Myles Jack double entendre.

Jaguars linebacker Myles Jack has played just four games in the NFL, but frankly it’s a wonder it took this long for a newspaper to make an unfortunate double entendre with his name.

Ryan O’Halloran has a story in Thursday’s Florida Times-Unionabout how Jack prepared to make his first NFL start at an unfamiliar position.

“Myles Jack makes most of first NFL start,” the digital headline reads. The headline in print is... not that.

Look, I edited a print newspaper in college. Writing headlines is hard, but it feels good when you massage them to fit.
