ESPN analyst predicts breakout season for Ruke Orhorhoro with Jaguars
Summary

ESPN analyst Ben Solak forecasts a standout season for former Clemson defensive tackle Ruke Orhorhoro after his trade to the Jacksonville Jaguars. Orhorhoro, a second-round pick by the Atlanta Falcons, struggled in limited play but is expected to see more action in Jacksonville's thin front seven. Solak notes that with increased snap counts, Orhorhoro could thrive in a more prominent role, enhancing his contributions to the team.
