Airports, Workouts and Film: What the Pro Day Circut Means for the Jaguars' Assistant Coaches

As the NFL draft approaches, assistant coaches from various teams attend Pro Days to assess the skills of potential new players. The Jacksonville Jaguars coaching staff is no exception, arriving at the University of Florida Pro Day on March 31st to evaluate prospects. But coaches also use these opportunities to network and build relationships with other coaches and staff members they encounter at these events.

In a recent article titled “Airports, Workouts and Film: What the Pro Day Circuit Means for the Jaguars’ Assistant Coaches,” the writer highlights the hard work and dedication Jaguars assistant coaches put into assessing future players. But the article also sheds light on the additional value of these Pro Days as a chance for coaches to build connections with their peers in the NFL.

Coaches often work long hours in isolation, watching game films and creating game plans. So, these events offer a brief respite from the daily grind and give coaches a chance to meet new people and make connections. These connections could lead to future coaching opportunities and more importantly, valuable insights on how colleagues handle similar challenges and learn from each other’s experiences.

As coaches navigate the uncertain waters of a new season, having these connections can be invaluable. In the fast-paced financial world of the NFL, the ability to create relationships with trusted colleagues pays dividends, and the Pro Day Circuit provides an ideal environment for coaches to do just that.

The Jaguars are just one example of the many NFL teams taking advantage of these opportunities. Football fans across the country should pay attention to coach’s insights and scouting reports as these will go a long way in determining the success of their favorite team during the 2021 season.
