The Jaguars won three games last year. The Patriots won their fifth Super Bowl title. So, there's plenty the Jags could learn from the Pats in their joint practices this week in Foxboro.

One thing Jacksonville safety Tashaun Gipson knows after Day 1. He's facing the greatest quarterback of all time. And it's a "blessing" to do so.
"After today, I don’t think he is one of the best, I think he is the best probably to ever play the game,” Gipson told Jacksonville TV station News 4 Jax of going against Tom Brady on Monday. “Tip my hat to him, but that can only make this young group develop and it is a beautiful thing to get three days of good work against him. It’s a blessing."
Gipson, entering his sixth NFL season, heaped praise on the rest of the Pats organization, as well.
“It’s always good to see these guys and see what it looks like. Every team in the NFL wants to have what they have here. You see it first-hand just the way that they operate, the way that they move. You kind of see why year in and year out they are Super Bowl favorites. As long as they have the great coaching and the players they have here you can see over the years they are on top of the hill and everybody is trying to scratch and claw to get up there.”
