Jaguars rookie Albert Regis thrives in first preseason game
Summary

Albert Regis, a rookie defensive tackle for the Jacksonville Jaguars, made a strong debut during their first preseason game on August 15 against the New Orleans Saints. Regis recorded a significant sack on Saints quarterback Zach Wilson, helping the Jaguars secure a 24-20 victory. The 81st overall pick in the NFL Draft was humorously chosen by his daughter Akari, who crawled to the Jaguars' cup during a family experiment. Jaguars head coach Liam Coen noted that Regis and other young defensive linemen are gradually improving, though the transition to the NFL has its challenges.
