The Next 100
The NFL celebrated 100 years of football in 2019 by honoring
the greatest players of all time. But for the Jaguars Foundation,
there’s no time like the present to keep our eye on the next 100
with a strong commitment to youth football programming.
Jaguars PREP was established in 2019 with the goal of giving kids
access to learning the fundamentals of football using the NFL’s top
resources and support. Through youth football camps, tourna-
ments such as the Nike 11-On, flag football and other programs
under the Jaguars PREP umbrella, the Jaguars bring the game
of football to thousands of fans in Jacksonville and London in an
effort to keep kids active and healthy, while promoting proper
technique, teamwork and sportsmanship for players of all ages
and skill levels.
In addition to regional Jaguars PREP programming, more than a
dozen Jaguars players, including RB Leonard Fournette, hosted
their own football camps in Jacksonville and around the country in
their respective hometowns. The Jaguars 2019 rookie class even
hosted a Special Olympics Fantasy Camp at the Dream Finders
Homes Flex Field at Daily’s Place for 34 Special Olympians who
signed one-day contracts to become professional football players.

“We wanted them to have as much fun as they could,” Jaguars
2019 first round pick Josh Allen said following the camp. “That’s
what we’re here for. We’re happy to help them get their mind off
of whatever they’re going through. Everybody here is normal. We
don’t see differences or color, everybody here is the same.”
