Jacksonville Jaguars Christian Kirk Has Outlandish Statement On Team’s Wide Receivers

The Jacksonville Jaguars come into 2023 with some high expectations. After making a little playoff run last year, the team is looking to build on that success. Wide receiver Christian Kirk had a career year last season and the team got Calvin Ridley back from his suspension. Add in Zay Jones and this is a pretty good group of receivers. Kirk thinks this group is elite and has an outlandish statement about his fellow teammates.

Jacksonville Jaguars Christian Kirk On State Of Receiver Room

Kirk thinks this group has the potential to be enshrined in Canton.

“I’ve been a part of some special ones. I’ve been in the room with a couple Hall of Famers. We have the potential. I wouldn’t say we’re there yet, but we have the potential top to bottom, not only production-wise, but just from a professionalism and character standpoint. With the type of guys we have in our room, we definitely have everything that it takes to be special.”

It’s one thing to be elite. It is yet another to have Hall of Fame potential. I know this is most likely training camp hype but this is a bold statement.

Any Truth To It?

Ridley is getting a lot of hype this offseason. After taking a year off, many believe that he can be a top receiver in the league. Jones and tight end Evan Engram both had career-highs in receiving yards last season. With Trevor Lawrence throwing the ball, there is no telling the numbers that these pass-catchers could have. While I am less enthusiastic about this group making the Hall of Fame, this group could be very good and lead the team to an AFC South title and a deep playoff run.

The Jacksonville Jaguars paid Christian Kirk a lot of money. So far it has paid dividends but this is a big year for the young team.
