Fowler was the third overall pick in the NFL Draft, and saw his career get off to a very unfortunate start last week when he tore his ACL, sidelining him for the season.
The former Florida Gator star finished the 2014 season with a total of 60 tackles, with 15 of those being for a loss and 8.5 sacks. It was by far Fowler’s most dominant season as a Gator.
Fowler is just the first draftee to agree to a deal with Jacksonville.
