Arik Armstead had plenty of praise for the former No. 1 overall pick.
After a double-digit sack season in 2023, expectations are sky-high for Jacksonville Jaguars pass-rusher Travon Walker. And perhaps nobody has loftier goals for Walker than one of his newest teammates in defensive lineman Travon Walker."He had a tremendous year last year, and I know he's gonna have a tremendous year this year."
Armstead is set to spend his first year alongside Walker in 2024, joining forces for Josh Allen, DaVon Hamilton, Roy Robertson-Harris, and other members of the Jaguars' defensive line room after signing with the team in free agency. After seeing Nick Bosa blossom over the start of his All-Pro career in San Francisco, Armstead now has the chance to watch Walker do the same.
"I think the sky's the limit for him, and like I said, I think he can be the best edge in the league," Armstead continued. "He has that mindset too and I think I think he will be." After just 3.5 sacks as a rookie, Walker hit 10 in 2023 after recording at least half a sack in eight of the Jaguars' last 10 games. This included his first-ever multi-sack performance with two sacks vs. the Carolina Panthers in Week 17.John Shipley has been covering the Jacksonville Jaguars as a beat reporter and publisher of Jaguar Report since 2019.
