The pass-rusher was open about why he decided to move from one AFC South team to another.

«With Jacksonville, it was a shock to me. I’m not going to lie. After the year, I thought it was going to be a Jacksonville Jaguar,» Key said Tuesday, via NFL.com. «I felt disrespected because I came there, built the culture, brought a lot of energy, changed the city, changed the town. I felt like in my right mind I was going to be a Jacksonville Jaguar. That’s not going to happen.»
