Bryan Walters
Who is Bryan Walters? Well to start, Walters played college football at Cornell. He went undrafted in 2010 and was picked up by the San Diego Chargers. After floating around the Chargers and Minnesota Vikings for a few years, Walters found a home with the Seattle Seahawks from 2012 to 2014.

The Jaguars picked up the 6’0, 190 pound wideout in March, and proceeded to cut him on September 20th. However, the Jags snagged him up a few days later after an injury to Marqise Lee.
Ever since then, Walters has caught every ball thrown his way. On the season, Walters has 24 catches for 282 yards and one touchdown, but has also been reliable as a punt returner. For whatever reason, the Jaguars had Nick Marshall back deep returning punts and, in the end, would cost the Jaguars the game with a fumble deep inside their own territory.
Walters also made a circus catch along the sideline that would have kept the Jaguars drive alive in the second half. However, the refs ruled it incomplete, even after head coach Gus Bradley challenged it and replays showed his two feet tapping the ground.
Unless Marqise Lee gets healthy and stays that way, Walters has the makings to be the Jaguars #3 receiver.
