Not many exciting or interesting things happen at organized team activities, otherwise known as OTAs, in the National Football League.
Today marked the first interesting thing, though.
A fight happened during the organized team activities in Jacksonville, Florida, with the Jaguars.
According to Pro Football Talk , the fight happened on the last play of the practice.
On the play, offensive lineman Paul McQuistan and defensive lineman Walter Curry were going at it with each other on the play.
It was a passing play on the eleven-on-eleven drills.
But they kept going at it. At one point, McQuistan knocked off Curry’s helmet.
Defensive line coach Joe Cullen was going to try to stop the fight, but he then got knocked over by Atiyyah Ellison, when he jumped into the scene.
The veteran leaders on the team (such as fullback Greg Jones, linebacker Kirk Morrison, and defensive end Aaron Kampman) were able to break up the fight between McQuistan and Curry.
There was a video of the fight that was leaked onto the Internet.
Here’s the video from firstcoastnews.com
Hopefully, something like this will never happen again.

I’ve ranked the quarterbacks, running backs and defensive backs, and now it’s this juncture to unveil the top 10 AFC South defensive linemen and linebackers in the NFL Today.
There are players designating from every position that exists along the front seven, so it’s an inevitable tough duel in the position rankings.
The criteria are last year’s statistics, leadership and morale, winner mentality, versatility, success in recent years, and potential that lies ahead this season as well as the years that follow.
On the surface, the lack of turnover in the Jaguars’ starting lineup after last year’s season-ending four-game losing streak might seem surprising.
As new middle linebacker Kirk Morrison observed in his introductory press conference, “If you don’t win, things have to change.”
It’s last summer, though, where heads that needed to roll were put on the chopping block in Jacksonville. Four rookies emerged as starters and five more saw significant action.
High on promise but short on NFL experience, the 2009 Jaguars seemed to hit the “rookie wall” along with their youngest teammates down the stretch.
This year, holes in Jacksonville’s depth chart are harder to come by as the Jaguars begin training camp. Voids created by departures and sub-par play are being targeted and filled with leaders by any means possible.
