Travon Walker Signed His Extension, and Liam Coen's Aaron Donald Comparison Just Changed Everything
Jacksonville's defensive end Travon Walker got the message loud and clear during his end-of-season sit-down with head coach Liam Coen, and it lit a fire. Coen didn't compare Walker to Aaron Donald as a player, one of the greatest defensive linemen in NFL history. Instead, he wanted Walker to study how Donald prepared, how he practiced, and how he played. That's the standard Coen is asking for. That's what Walker is now chasing.
The Comparison That Clicked
Walker signed his four-year, $110 million contract extension on Saturday, and he's locked in on what Coen laid out in that meeting. "It's just like taking my game to another level," Walker said. The fact that Coen had actually played alongside Donald made the whole thing hit different. "Obviously, he's seen Aaron Donald. He was on the team with Aaron Donald. So it just kind of helped put things in perspective for me to be able to just click it to a different type of mindset from how I was going throughout the year."
