Projecting Every NFL Team's Starting Lineup 🔮

Rookie WRs Who Will Outplay Their Draft Value 📈
Jacksonville struggled offensively this season due to inconsistency at quarterback while star running back Leonard Fournette only played eight games. However, a similar roster was very productive the year before under Hackett.
The Jaguars finished with the No. 5 scoring offense in the NFL in 2017 while ranking sixth in total yards, thanks mostly to a run-heavy approach. Bortles was also more efficient while leading the team to a 10-6 record and an appearance in the AFC Championship Game.
Hackett also served as offensive coordinator with the Buffalo Bills for two seasons with EJ Manuel and Kyle Orton as the primary quarterbacks.
Going from these inconsistent passers to Aaron Rodgers could help Hackett get the most out of his system.
In addition to his experience, many like his personality and background for the Green Bay gig:
With new head coach Matt LaFleur expected to call his own plays, Hackett will simply have to make sure he can get the most out of his players on that side of the ball.
Considering the talented playmakers on the roster like Davante Adams and Aaron Jones around Rodgers, this could be an explosive offense in 2019.
