The Jacksonville Jaguars are in an interesting place right now so far as how they're going to move forward as a team this upcoming off-season. The Jags appear to be confused about whether or not they will be keeping quarterback Blake Bortles at the helm of the team's offense after going 5-11 on the season and coming off an AFC South topping record of 10-6 a year ago.
However, the team's prized cornerback, Jalen Ramsey, has become a media darling in recent years and provides the team with national coverage for his blunt and sometimes hilarious pre and post-game interviews. But yet that isn't enough to keep the Jaguars from being one of the worst ranked fan bases in the country with a fan equity ranking of 30th in the league, 31st in social equity, and 23rd in road equity.
