Jaguars WR Reggie Williams will undergo arthroscopic surgery after re-injuring his right knee during training camp. But wait, I thought this is a Fred Taylor fan site… why are we getting news on Reggie Williams? This very quick video will help make the connection
Reggie Williams is the one of the best blocking WRs in the NFL. His value to our run game is unmeasurable. If Reggie can’t get back ont he field for the first few games, then Fred Taylor’s ability to break the big one will suffer. Wish him well!

Fred Taylor is back at Jaguars Training Camp and is looking as good as ever. He even scored a touchdown yesterday as the Jaguars practiced their red zone offense. Too bad Del Rio rarely gives him opportunities inside the 10 yard line. Freddy scores his points busting the long ones.
If you’ve missed out on seeing Fred Taylor in action during the 2008 Training Camp, there is a man by the name of FBT on the Jaguars.com message board that prepares comments on his observations. Here’s what he had to say about Fred Taylor’s practice yesterday. “Fred Taylor continues to amaze with his precision, and his explosive burst. Fred really looks strong out there. It is interesting watching him preparing for the practices because while the rest of the team is out doing field drills to loosen up, Fred is by himself going through an extensive stretching ritual that is clearly working well for him.”
The Jaguars have an AM and PM session today and only a PM session tomorrow.

The 2008 Jacksonville Jaguars training camp started yesterday morning. Fred Taylor was excused from Saturday’s practices because he was attending Samari Rolle’s father’s funeral. All reports coming out are that the Jags had an awesome camp, Garrard and MJD looked very sharp. There’s no doubt if the Jaguars stay healthy they will have an explosive offense and put up a ton of points. I want to see Fred get in the endzone 10 times this year!
I’ll be sure to bring you more updates once Freddy is back at camp.

We have just learned that Fred Taylor will represent the Jacksonville Jaguars for this seasons The Real website. Last year, Maurice Jones Drew was the cover boy. You can read the release about it here. “The REAL campaign tells the unscripted stories as told by the players themselves in their own voice who they are as people off the field,” NFL PLAYERS COO and Executive Vice President Andy Feffer said. “REAL is a window into their accomplishments, beliefs and unique personalities.”
Fred Taylor will be a great addition to this campaign. He’s been around the league a long time and no doubt has some fun stories to tell. We won’t know for awhile what they have cooked up for Freddy T, but I’m sure it will be awesome.

Pete Prisco, from CBS Sportsline, posted his top 50 players in the NFL regardless of position. You can check out the entire rankings here.
Fred Taylor, the only Jaguar to make the list, came in at #49. A little bit low considering he had a Pro Bowl year, but still a nice honor considering he is 32 years old. Here’s what Pete had to say:
49. Fred Taylor, RB, Jacksonville Jaguars: Taylor finally got his due last season with his first Pro Bowl appearance. At 32, he remains one of the biggest home-run threats in the league. His 5.4 per-carry average was second best among the league’s best rushers to Peterson (5.6).
There’s no denying Fred Taylor is one of the most important, if not the most important, pieces to the Jacksonville Jaguars success. Over the past decade, if Fred Taylor went down, the team would fall in the toilet until he returned. It’s nice to see this #49 ranking, and I hope he can have a great 2008 season and move up the list next year.
