"Leo" is the primary pass-rushing position in new coach Gus Bradley's defense. It's a weak-side edge rusher who can play in either a two- or three-point stance. Branch was a colossal bust as a rookie, managing one sack across 13 games.

Jacksonville had zero depth. "When you're playing 80 snaps, no man to man [defense], can't score any points, that's what happens," said Mincey, whose sack total fell from eight in 2011 to three. "I think [the new staff] went back and watched the film, and you can't blame it all on me. I did what I could. I played hard." Mincey may still not return as a starter in 2013.

Miller has been out the entire offseason with the issue, and he's been "slowly bumping up everything, from conditioning to lifting weights." The soon-to-be 26-year-old said he dealt with the pain last season while with the Bucs. He'll probably be limited for the rest of OTAs, but Miller should be fine for camp.

The war will be won with former Patriots. Ebert is the third ex-Pat to arrive in Jacksonville in the past eight days. A 2012 seventh-round pick, Ebert spent his rookie year on the practice squad. Ebert is undersized at 5-foot-10, 194 pounds, but has sub-4.40 wheels. He'll attempt to make the Jags as a slot man/special teamer.

McCray led the FCS Southern Conference in interceptions each of the past two years. His speed doesn't jump off the page (4.54 40-yard dash), but he's an excellent ballhawker with long arms (33-7/8 inches). He'll look to make the Jags as a special teamer.

Harris is going to have to put on some weight and get stronger, but at 6-foot-2 he fits Jacksonville's new press-man scheme in the secondary. He also had a valuable pre-draft connection to Jaguars DBs coach DeWayne Walker, Harris' head coach at New Mexico State. Harris will compete for a roster spot in camp.

The Florida Times Union reported on May 15 that Sanders might miss the rest of the month, but he was back working on Monday. Sanders will compete for return duties as a rookie, and push Jordan Shipley for snaps at slot receiver.
