Anton Harrison is entering his second season after being selected 27th overall by the Jacksonville Jaguars in the 2023 NFL Draft. Harrison left Oklahoma after the 2022 season and at the time was named first team All-Big 12.
While it’s not common for rookie offensive linemen to be thrust into the starting lineup, Anton has embraced the challenge and has shown durability in starting all 17 games last season.
Here’s how the former Sooner responded when asked about his personal development and the growth of the Jaguars’ offensive line.
On his first to second-year jump
Anton: Definitely, I’d say for me the biggest thing is really just that confidence. Coming in my rookie year to second year, just knowing what I’m coming into. I really had a real offseason to prepare, don’t have to worry about the Draft, Combine and all that. So, having a real offseason definitely helped me a lot too.
On he and the offensive line’s development in the run game
Anton: I feel like it’s been good. We’ve all been getting better at it. Just starting off with the little things like coming out of three-point stance and everything. We try to find everything to help us improve. We’ve been taking it day-by-day. I feel like we’ve grown a lot from last year.
