Jaguars running back Maurice Jones-Drew, who was critical of the team's draft decisions recently, says his comments were taken out of context.
It had been reported that Jacksonville's decision to draft a quarterback in the first round upset him.
"No, I said I was shocked," Jones-Drew said. "I said that from the jump. Now it's kind of like all these things are coming up. ... [It's] people taking everything out of context, trying to stir up some controversy. I guess that's what they're supposed to do. I know on this show we just tell it how it is."
Even before the draft, Jones-Drew said quarterback wasn't the team's biggest need.
Then, the day after Gabbert was drafted, he spoke in support of Jaguars quarterback David Garrard, saying: "David's our guy and he's always going to be our guy."
