As the Jacksonville Jaguars gear up for the upcoming NFL season, new addition Dennis Gardeck has quickly made an impression on head coach Liam Coen. Gardeck, who spent the first seven seasons of his career with the Arizona Cardinals, was a key player on the Rams' 'game-wrecker board' during Coen's time in Los Angeles. Known for his disruptive play on both defense and special teams, Gardeck's presence is expected to bolster the Jaguars' already formidable lineup.

In the 2023 season, Gardeck recorded 42 pressures while playing over 500 snaps, showcasing his ability to impact the game significantly. Coen highlighted Gardeck's diverse skill set, noting his unique pass-rushing style and contributions as a special teams captain. The Jaguars are optimistic that Gardeck will enhance their defensive depth and add versatility to their special teams unit, providing valuable support as they aim for a successful campaign.
