At first, it was speculation. And then it was draft-night reality as Jack – whose speed, athleticism and pass coverage ability is considered once-a-generation at his position – slipped past No. 5 to 10 to 15 and all the way out of Round 1.

So, yeah, he opted not to return to the NFL's draft green room for Round 2 Friday. And yeah, he opted not to go through the emotion in front of the cameras again. He opted to stay at the Trump Tower with his family and make it a more personal thing.

Can you blame him?

Not if you have heart, and that heart couldn't help feel good for Jack Saturday morning. There he was, at last, with his new team at the traditional introductory press conference.

Yeah, it was a day late. But it was happening. The NFL dream was real, and for Jack, it was really truly the dream he wanted.

"I was telling everybody before the draft, 'If I could choose a place to come it could be Jacksonville,''' Jack said, adding of his pre-draft ordeal, "At the end of the day, if it got me to end up here where I wanted to be, I'm cool with that. It's a great fit, so I'm cool with it."
