Christian Kirk: We’re All Bought In To Winning

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Christian Kirk isn’t resting on his laurels after one of the best years of his career.

Christian Kirk finished 2022 with career bests in catches (84), yards receiving (1,108) and touchdowns (8).

Dovetailing with Zay Jones and Calvin Ridley, Christian Kirk believes Jacksonville’s receiving corps could be one of the league’s best.

The Jaguars were one of only three NFL teams with three players who exceeded 750 receiving yards last season.

“I definitely feel like there’s always something to prove,” he said. 

“I know within myself, there’s a lot that I want to prove, I may feel overlooked at times and that’s just part of it. It has kind of been the story of my career. I never really lose that edge. I always walk away from a season saying that that wasn’t good enough in certain areas. It’s still the chip on my shoulder, trying to not only prove to myself, but to this team, to this league, that I can be one of the best in the league consistently.

“Everybody can do it one year. The thing I mainly want to prove to myself is doing it consistently year in and year out.

“I’ve been in the room with a couple Hall of Famers. We have the potential. I wouldn’t say we’re there yet, but we have the potential top to bottom, not only production-wise, but just from a professionalism and character standpoint. With the type of guys we have in our room, we definitely have everything that it takes to be special.”

“Everybody’s just bought in,” Kirk said. 

“We’re all bought into winning. We all understand that there are a lot of mouths to feed, that we have a lot of talent and there’s only one ball, but nobody really cares about that. Everybody’s focused on winning one week at a time and taking this thing as it progresses. It’s cool to have everybody on the same page, bought into the goal and what we’re trying to accomplish.”
