The Jacksonville Jaguars need Gabe Davis to step up next season.
With that in mind, he will look to get a clean slate and get back to basics.
As reported by NFL insider Ari Meirov, he will go back to wearing No. 13, which he previously wore during his days in college at UCF and with the Buffalo Bills.

Former Jaguar Christian Kirk wore No. 13 last season.
As a result, former first-round pick LB Devin Lloyd will now wear No. 0.
The Jaguars just gave Davis a three-year deal worth $39 million, including $24 million guaranteed.
He wasn’t very productive in his first year with the team.
In 10 appearances, he hauled in just 20 of 42 targets for 239 yards and two touchdowns before sustaining a season-ending injury.
Trevor Lawrence will continue to build chemistry with LSU star Brian Thomas Jr., who’s coming off a stellar rookie season.
Davis will have to compete with Parker Washington and Dyami Brown to get some touches as the team’s WR2.
New head coach Liam Coen will most likely put an emphasis on the passing game, and the team hopes that he can work his magic with their former No. 1 pick, who has shown some signs of great play but has been inconsistent.
Davis was a perennial downfield threat during his days with the Bills, and now that he’s back to full strength, Lawrence and the Jaguars will need him to do better in contested situations and show steadier hands than he showed in his first campaign with the team.
