He’s bigger, and feels stronger.

Those are the first two things Luke Joeckel mentioned when sitting down for an interview recently, and he knows they’re huge parts of his offseason story.

The Jaguars’ third-year left tackle said he knows those things *need* to be huge parts of his story right now – along with needing to improve, to be more consistent … all of the things he’s working on this offseason.

“The biggest thing is strength and weight,” Joeckel said. “That was evident coming out of the season. That’s been the main thing, the main focus.

“It’s been going really well. Having a healthy offseason has been huge.”

Joeckel, the No. 2 overall selection in the 2013 NFL Draft, spoke last week at EverBank Field. The offseason conditioning program begins in two weeks, but to look at – and listen to – Joeckel is to know the process has long since begun. He has gained 10-to-12 pounds since last season, and it’s easy to see. It’s good weight, he said – weight added correctly. He feels it when he works out, when he trains.
