When Jaguars safety Donovin Darius lines up in the secondary this year, he'll stand more upright than he has in the past.
Off the field, he has started eating cottage cheese late at night.
Those changes are a part of a new training and conditioning program he's working on in the offseason under the tutelage of Obake, a cage fighter and sports specific trainer who also runs a martial arts program at a Southside gym.
Darius, in his sixth season with the Jaguars, thinks the new training regimen, combined with the team's new defensive scheme, is going to be his springboard to his best season this year.
Darius even thinks the Jaguars' decision to place the franchise tag on him was a "blessing in disguise."
He said the five-year, $24.5 million deal signed by Brian Dawkins in Philadelphia and the seven-year, $30 million deal signed by Tebucky Jones in New Orleans have raised the salary bar for safeties. He thinks those deals will give him even more leverage if he has a big season this year.
