Sometimes you don't get much new information at mini-camp.  But that's not the situation with the Jaguars this year.

Among the revelations:

The Jaguars opened mini-camp today with a full compliment of players in attendance.  In all, 97 rookies, veterans and workout players were on the field.

Jack Del Rio wants to shock the rookies and accomplish three things, get the players up to speed on the offensive and defensive schemes, get them in shape, and the most important aspect.

Last year's off-season approach was a veteran friendly one for the Jaguars.  Jack Del Rio eased the rookies into the plan and then held a softer training camp. 

Then the Jaguars went 5-11. 

Once again this year, Jack Del Rio is opening up some of the mini-camp practices to fans.

Mini-camp begins on Friday and the Friday afternoon practice (4:00 p.m.) and both Saturday sessions (10:30 a.m. and 4:00 p.m.) will be open to the public.
