JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) – Jacksonville Jaguars defensive tackle Sen’Derrick Marks is counting on coaches and colleagues to get him to the Pro Bowl.
Marks has 8 1/2 sacks, is tied for second in the NFL among interior lineman. His total is impressive considering the Jaguars (3-12) rarely play with a lead, which usually allows defenders to disregard ground games and focus on pressuring quarterbacks.
Despite Marks’ season, he’s far from a lock to make the league’s all-star game.
Not only does he play in small-market Jacksonville, Marks finished 13th at his position in fan balloting that ended last week. Fan votes make up one-third of the Pro Bowl ballot.
So Marks needs coaches and fellow players to vote him in. The results will be announced Tuesday night.
