Dante Antwane Fowler Jr. (born August 3, 1994) is an American football defensive end for the Washington Commanders of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football for the Florida Gators and was selected third overall by the Jacksonville Jaguars in the 2015 NFL draft. Fowler has also played for the Los Angeles Rams, Atlanta Falcons, and Dallas Cowboys.

Early life[edit]

Fowler attended Lakewood High School in St. Petersburg, Florida, where he was a two-sport star in football and track. Fowler was named an honorable mention to the Sports Illustrated All-American football team following his senior season and was selected to the 2012 Under Armour All-America Game.[1] In track, Fowler competed as a shot putter, recording a top throw of 14.32 meters (47 ft).[2]

College career[edit]

As a freshman at the University of Florida in 2012, Fowler moved to the outside linebacker position. Fowler played in all 13 games and started his first game against Missouri. He recorded 30 tackles, including eight for loss, and 2.5 sacks. Fowler was named to numerous freshman all-American teams.

In 2013, Fowler started all 13 games for the Gators and was named a team captain for the two final games of the season. He recorded 50 tackles (10.5 for loss) and 3.5 sacks.

In 2014, Fowler slimmed down from 277 to 261 pounds, in an effort to be a more explosive edge player for the Gators.[3][4] He recorded 60 tackles (15 for loss), 8.5 sacks, and two forced fumbles. Fowler was named a first-team All-Southeastern Conference selection by the conference's coaches.[5] In his final game, the 2015 Birmingham Bowl against East Carolina, Fowler recorded three sacks during the 28–20 victory.[6]

On November 19, 2014, Fowler tweeted that he would leave the school with Will Muschamp, who announced that he would step down as head coach. Fowler made his intentions to forgo his remaining eligibility and enter the 2015 NFL draft.[7]

2015 season[edit]

Fowler was selected third overall by the Jacksonville Jaguars in the 2015 NFL draft.[8][9] On May 8, 2015, he tore his ACL on the first day of mini-camp, ending his rookie season before it even started.[10][11] Four days later, Fowler signed a fully guaranteed four-year, $23.5 million contract, with a $15.3 million signing bonus.[12]

2016 season[edit]

After missing his entire rookie season due to his ACL injury, Fowler made his NFL debut and first NFL start during the season-opening 27–23 loss to the Green Bay Packers, where he had three tackles (one for a loss).[13] In the next game against the San Diego Chargers, Fowler recorded six tackles and two sacks during the 38–14 road loss.[14] During a Week 9 19–14 road loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, he had four tackles and 0.5 sacks.[15] During a Week 16 38–17 victory over the Tennessee Titans, Fowler recorded two tackles, two pass deflections, and a sack.[16] In the regular-season finale against the Indianapolis Colts, he had a tackle, a pass deflection, and 0.5 sacks during the 24–20 road loss.[17]

On May 2, 2018, the Jaguars declined the fifth-year option on Fowler's contract.[32] On July 20, he was suspended for one game due to violating the league's personal conduct policy.[33] The NFLPA later revealed that it had won a grievance filed on Fowler's behalf alleging that the Jaguars had improperly fined Fowler over $700,000 for not attending rehab and medical appointments in Jacksonville during the 2018 offseason. Under the collective bargaining agreement, these appointments should have been voluntary. This incident reportedly led to the firing of Jaguars football operations chief Tom Coughlin.[34]

After being suspended for the season-opener, Fowler made his season debut in the Week 2 31–20 victory over the Patriots, recording a tackle and a strip-sack where he recovered the ball.[35] During a Week 7 20–7 loss to the Texans, Fowler had two tackles and a sack.[36]
