LSU WR DJ Chark was great in the buildup to the 2018 NFL Draft and raised his draft stock quite a bit.
The Jacksonville Jaguars were thrilled to get him in the second round, with the No. 61 overall pick on Friday night.
On Saturday morning, Jaguars GM Dave Caldwell praised Chark’s speed and versatility, as you can see in the quote below:

“It’s a pick not just for our passing game, but our funning game, too,” he said. “When you have a guy with that kind of speed, teams have to be cognizant of him making big plays down the field.”
Chark is indeed one of the fastest receivers in this year’s draft class. Teaming up with former LSU RB Leonard Fournette gives the Jaguars a talented pair of former Tigers to lead the offense this fall.
