Jaguars fans push for Yannick Ngakoue to make the Pro Bowl to improve trade return

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Jacksonville Jaguars fans are taking an interesting approach to help the team acquire a higher pick in the 2021 NFL Draft next spring -- voting for Minnesota Vikings player, Yannick Ngakoue, for the 2021 pro bowl.

The former Jaguars defensive end, Ngakoue, was traded to the Minnesota Vikings, and then to the Baltimore Ravens over a three-month span, according to Fox Sports. The reason the Jaguars fans are so persistent to get Ngakoue to the 2020 Pro Bowl is because the team will receive an upgrade in draft-pick compensation.

The Jags would go from a 2021 fifth-rounder to a fourth-rounder as a stipulation of the initial trade with the Vikings in August if the fifth-year defensive end were voted in.

Jaguars fans have taken to reddit to get the word out, even recruiting fans from NFC north. Packers, Lions and Bears fans are helping Duval in its mission to get Ngakoue to the Pro Bowl, because for them (according to a Reddit thread) screwing over the Vikings is hilarious.

Some fans said they’ve voted dozens, even hundreds, of times.
