    With the Jaguars facing 3rd and 17, Mac Jones threw a pass down the middle to second-year wide receiver Parker Washington for the first touchdown of the game.

    Last week, Washington had a significant impact in the win over Kansas City. Along with making a ten-yard reception, he also had a 73-yard kick return.

    Earlier this week, he discussed his role on the team and his efforts to earn more respect from the quarterbacks as he aims to secure a spot on the 53-man roster.

    On building trust with Jacksonville quarterbacks

    Parker: Everything is earned. Respect is earned. Put a lot of good work in this off season and I just wanted to put my best foot forward each day during OTAs and now to the start of training camp. That's what it's all about. You want to earn trust from your teammates and continue to build that trust as you continue to go. So, it's been exciting and I just want to continue to build on that and continue to grow.

    On having a fresh start this season

    Parker: Definitely. Offseason, being able to get some good work in. I mean, I was coming off of injury, coming into my rookie year, so I've been just trying to build from that and grow, and develop and continue to get more healthy. That offseason time was good for me. It does feel like a fresh start, being pretty much fully healthy and just ready to roll.
