Recently he gave thanks to the player he became in Athens, giving the UGA Athletic Association a <a href="https://twitter.com/GeorgiaFootball/status/1683486068794900481?s=20" rel="noopener">hefty donation through his foundation</a>, via the Georgia football Twitter account.</p><p>“Walker’s donation is part of the Foundation’s #BlessUp44 campaign, which annually gives $4,400 a total of 44 times, symbolizing Walker’s jersey No. 44. The gift to UGA accounts for 10 of these donations in 2023.”</p><p>Travon Walker will be donating $44,000 total, a sum that the Georgia football program and university will undoubtedly be grateful for. The donation comes as a thanks from Walker for putting him in position to be drafted first overall last season.</p><p>While Walker will receive plenty of high praise for this gesture, most of that will come from Bulldogs fans and not Jaguars fans. Walker did not put up the season last year that was likely expected of a first overall pick; all of Jacksonville will be expecting more from him this season, including Walker himself.</p><p>Luckily for Walker, not all eyes will be on him this season with <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/jacksonville-jaguars-win-total-odds-over-under-prediction-for-2023" rel="noopener">all of the high expectations</a> in Jacksonville. The Jaguars haven’t had this kind of hype in quite some time, so Walker will be able to use that to his advantage and work in the shadows. It would come as no surprise to see a breakout season from Walker with a full NFL year under his belt and little distractions to be had. In the meantime, Georgia football will always be proud of Travon Walker and very grateful for his massive donation.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

While it looks like <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/jaguars-news-trevor-lawrence-helps-jags-erase-awful-1-112-history-with-comeback-vs-cowboys" rel="noopener">rising star quarterback</a> Trevor Lawrence will play, the same can’t be said for rookie edge rusher Travon Walker.</p><p>On their final injury report of the week, Lawrence was limited at practice with a toe injury and deemed questionable for the game.

Prior to that, the first overall pick hadn’t missed a game, racking up 45 tackles, four for a loss, eight QB hits, 3.5 sacks, a forced fumble and an interception.</p><p>Lawrence has helped turn the Jaguars season around and has given the team a real shot of reaching the playoffs. On the year, he has completed 66% of his passes for 3,520 yards, 24 touchdowns and seven interceptions. Lawrence is ranked sixth in the league in passing touchdowns and ninth in passing yards.</p><p>While he was limited with his toe injury, Lawrence has <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/jaguars-news-trevor-lawrence-injury-revealed" rel="noopener">played through</a> the injury the last couple of weeks. The fact he was able to get any practice in shows that he will likely be ready to play on Thursday Night Football.</p><p>At 6-8, the Jaguars are just two games out of a Wild Card spot. However, the Jets, at 7-7, are chasing that spot as well. They may not have Walker, but if Jacksonville wants to keep their postseason hopes alive, they’ll need Lawrence healthy and at his best.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Jacksonville Jaguars outside linebacker Travon Walker, who was selected by the team with the No. 1 overall pick, could square off with <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/sports/nfl/new-york-giants" rel="noopener">New York Giants</a> offensive tackle Evan Neal in multiple snaps. Kayvon Thibodeaux is set to lead the Giants’ formidable front seven group in the matchup.</p><p>The Jaguars had a multitude of needs heading into the draft earlier this year, and there was much speculation in the weeks leading up to it that they would consider taking Neal or Thibodeaux with their top pick. Jacksonville touched base with Neal ahead of the draft, and the AFC South side had a dire need for a keen pass rusher in the caliber of Thibodeaux.</p><p>In the end, the Jaguars opted to take the former Georgia defensive lineman, but as head coach Doug Pederson <a href="https://www.giants.com/news/brian-daboll-daniel-jones-xavier-mckinney-evan-neal-doug-pederson" rel="noopener">touched on</a> ahead of Week 7, Neal and Thibodeaux were also in the discussion to be the first player taken off the board.</p><p>“They were definitely in the conversation leading up to the draft for us,” Pederson said. “The pre-draft process was – there were a lot of good players at the top of the board for us. And there were some offensive linemen there and obviously the edge rushers.</p><p>“Ultimately, we had to make a decision and settled (on that decision) and picked Travon. But I’ll tell you what, both of those guys and all the guys at the top of the board could’ve been great fits for us. They’re great players. They’re going to be great players in this league and play for a long time. But at the end of the day, we took Travon; and we’re excited about him and his growth and his potential here in Jacksonville.”</p><p>Walker is off to a promising start with the Jaguars, as he has tallied nine pressures and one sack in six games played this season. On the other hand, Neal and Thibodeaux each have emerged as regular starters with the Giants.</p><p>In the big picture, the Jaguars head into Week 7 with an eye on snapping their three-game losing streak.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

It was definitely an exciting feeling. It was my first one, but plenty more to come,” Travon Walker said, via ProFootballTalk. “It was exciting to be out there on an actual NFL roster, playing for an NFL team against other NFL players.”</p><p>“I thought he was good. I think I saw, felt, could see his length, his athleticism, his power. He’s going to be a good player,” added head coach Doug Pederson, via PFT.
