The Facts: The Jaguars are taking a flier on a fullback who played for a college program noted for its strong ground games. The club has been awarded Ewing on waivers from Atlanta, the NFL disclosed in its transactions on Monday.

Diehards Line: A Wisconsin product, Ewing was a fifth-round pick of the Falcons in 2012. At the time, now-Jaguars GM David Caldwell was Atlanta’s director of player personnel. As PFT's Mike Wilkening notes, Ewing has been limited to just two games in his first two NFL seasons because of knee and shoulder injuries. He joins Shaun Chapas and Will Ta’ufo’ou as the Jaguars’ blocking backs.
