Ex-Brown a late-bloomer?
The Jaguars signed Dennis Northcutt to be the team’s number three receiver and punt-returner. A lot of fans and media said the Jaguars paid too much for Northcutt, who had trouble getting playing time on one of the league’s worst teams last year.
At best, it appeared Northcutt might be a role player for the Jaguars. No one considered the possibility Northcutt would become the team’s number one receiver.
That is, however, exactly what Northcutt is after two weeks of the season. He leads all Jaguars receivers with nine catches for 132 yards. In both games, Northcutt has been David Garrard’s go-to pass-catcher.
“Early in my career, there was no way I could’ve been a number one. I didn’t know what it took to be a number one. I learned so much in my first three years. It made me make decisions in my life,” Northcutt said.
