Gus Bradley and the Jaguars will coach the Senior Bowl. Again. For a third time.
The Jacksonville Jaguars have officially accepted an invitation to be one of the coaching staffs for the 2016 Reese's Senior Bowl, an annual post-season all-star game featuring the top seniors entering the NFL Draft.

Though, I hope it is their last time coaching, it seems to be beneficial having a week with the players. A guy to keep an eye on is Noah Spence... He has top-10 talent but a ton of off the field problems. Supposedly he has been clean for the past year so hopefully Gus got a good feel for the kid over the past week.
There were a few guys that caught my eye:
Glenn Gronkowski
Carl Nassib
Aaron Green
Kenneth Dixon
Sheldon Rankins
Javon Hargrave
There is a very good chance a handful of their draft picks will come from Senior Bowl players. Two years, Brandon Linder, Telvin Smith, Aaron Colvin, and Chris Smith were all guys that they coached at the Senior Bowl as well as Nick Marshall last year.

More on the Senior Bowl:
The Jacksonville Jaguars coaching staff guided the South team to a 27-16 blowout victory at the Reese's Senior Bowl Saturday.
Gus Bradley's third time at the helm of a Senior Bowl roster was a success and helped give new defensive coordinator Todd Wash some experience in his inherited position.
The team was also able to meet with several talented players and coach them up on their way to the big leagues.
Plenty of future NFL standouts were able to make big impressions on scouts throughout the week of practices in Mobile, Ala. The same could be said about the Jaguars coaching staff with the former college competitors.
"[Bradley] came in full of energy, high spirits and I feel like there were a lot of guys that were nervous," said former Arizona State starting left guard Christian Westerman. "I feel like he eliminated that from the room. The guy came in with a lot of energy and everyone's eyes just kind of perked up. He got everything rolling and I actually really enjoyed being around him throughout the week and I thought it was a really great experience."
