Jaguars' Travon Walker Records his First Sack
In this story:
The No. 1 overall draft pick from this past April's NFL Draft, Travon Walker, the defensive end out of the University of Georgia, is making quite the impact in his NFL preseason debut.
Just two defensive possessions in, and the former Georgia Bulldog has already recorded his first sack of the night.
Not long before that, on the first snap of the game, Walker showed the type of impact that he can have on an opposing quarterback as he drove the opposing linemen into the quarterback, where Walker would reach across and force an incompletion.
How to Watch?
- With the kickoff set for 8:00 PM (EST), the game will be broadcasted by NBC, which you stream on FuboTV.
Walker's ascension up the draft board throughout the draft process is one that many will not forget. After helping Georgia capture its first national championship in over four decades, many didn't know what Walker would do when it came to his future. Some even believed that he could improve his stock with another season in Athens. Yet, with many projecting him as a mid to late first-round pick, the Thomaston, Georgia, native declared for the NFL Draft.
Exceptional performances at the NFL Combine and Georgia's Pro-Day would be a springboard for Walker to jump up the draft board. After declaring for the draft, Walker held 30-1 odds to become the first pick, which would change over the coming months as he jumped longtime favorite Aidan Hutchinson as the betting odds favorite on draft week.
