The Jacksonville Jaguars used the third overall pick in the 2015 NFL Draft on Dante Fowler, but they are already saying goodbye to the former University of Florida star.
ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported on Tuesday that the Jaguars have traded Fowler to the Los Angeles Rams for a pair of draft picks.

Fowler, 24, was someone of a disappointment in Jacksonville. The defensive end has 14 sacks in his first two-plus NFL seasons, but it was obvious that he was on borrowed time with the Jags when they declined to pick up the fifth-year option on his rookie contract.
While the potential is still there for Fowler, he has gotten into legal trouble off the field and had some issues with his teammates. Perhaps a change of scenery will help him do a better job of keeping his focus.
