JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Cornerback Jalen Ramsey was the cant-miss draft pick. Defensive tackle Malik Jackson was the $90 million free agent. Pass-rusher Dante Fowler Jr. was the key piece returning from injury.Rookie Yannick Ngakoue is having as big an impact as any of them for the Jacksonville Jaguars this season.A third-round pick from Maryland, Ngakoue has a team-leading three sacks, three forced fumbles and an interception that set up a touchdown. And the Jaguars (1-3), who have a bye this week, believe hes just getting started.Every year in this league you have guys stepping up and things like that, so its no surprise, Jaguars linebacker Telvin Smith said.You cant look at a piece of paper or a draft pick or what his check is and say, `This guy is going to be this. Thats what I love about this league: Youve got to go out and re-prove yourself every Sunday, every Monday, every Thursday.Every time you step on that field, you have to say, `This is who I am. And right now, hes doing a great job of it.Ngakoue is one of eight NFL players to notch at least one sack in each of the past three weeks. He also has a forced fumble in three straight games, and now leads all rookies in both categories. His three sacks tied him with Kevin Hardy (1996) for the most by a rookie through four games in franchise history.Its not surprising to us because he works like that in practice, coach Gus Bradley said. The cool thing is that he is carrying it over, and if there is a time where he gets stuck or blocked, it doesnt frustrate him to the next play. He recovers quickly and he has been playing at a high level.Ngakoue (pronounced In-GACK-way) played at a high level as a junior at Maryland. He set a school record with 13+ sacks and ranked second in the nation in sacks per game.The Jaguars viewed Ngakoue as a perfect fit at the teams pass-rushing Leo position behind Fowler, the third overall pick in the 2015 draft who missed his rookie season because of a knee injury.Its an important spot in Bradleys 4-3 scheme and one the Jaguars failed to fill the previous three years with Jason Babin, Jeremy Mincey, Chris Clemons, Andre Branch, Ryan Davis and Chris Smith.Jacksonville parted ways with Clemons and Branch after last season, clearing the way for Fowler to step right into a starting role. But they needed a backup.First-year defensive coordinator Todd Wash felt Ngakoue could be the guy, maybe even more.It was a situation where I was standing on the table earlier in the draft for him, Wash said. I loved him coming out. I know his temperament, his ability and I think youre starting to see more. ... We really like what weve seen in the draft and what were getting right now out of him.The revamped Jaguars rank sixth in the NFL in total defense, averaging 304.5 yards a game, and insist the unit is only going to get better the longer the new faces continue to jell.Ramsey has been better than anyone expected, starting from Day 1 and basically shutting down top receivers every week.Jackson has provided consistent pressure up the middle, keeping quarterbacks in the pocket and providing the catalyst for many of the teams 12 sacks. Fowler has been solid, too, with two sacks and several big plays.Ngakoue has been just as good, especially considering he hasnt been on the field nearly as much.Got to play with a chip, Ngakoue said. Always underestimated and always out to prove something each and every day. Just because I made it to this level, its not the end. Its just the beginning. Thats my mentality each and every day.Its a good approach to have, especially as a rookie whos had some early success.The Jaguars love it, almost as much as they do his past three performances.His first step is really good, Wash said. He can cover some ground vertically. He has the ability to lean and bend. He not only is a speed guy, but has enough man in him to be a power rusher also. You cant be a one-trick pony when youre rushing the passer, so were very excited about him.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: http://twitter.com/AP-NFL Scottie Upshall Jersey . -- New England Revolution goalkeeper Matt Reis is retiring after a 16-year career to become the goalie coach for the Los Angeles Galaxy.

The 20-race 2017 Formula One calendar has been confirmed, with Baku moved back a week to avoid clashing with Le Mans and the German Grand Prix gone altogether.As reported during the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix weekend, Hockenheims place on the calendar has gone after circuit chiefs failed to reach an agreement with F1 boss Bernie Ecclestone. It means Germany once again has no F1 race -- as was the case in 2015 -- despite the fact Nico Rosberg and Mercedes will be defending their respective titles in 2017.The Baku street race -- renamed the Azerbaijan Grand Prix after bizarrely joining the calendar this year as the Grand Prix of Europe -- has been pushed back a week to avoid clashing with the Le Mans 24 Hours again. It will now take place on June 25, avoiding the logistical nightmare of 2016 which saw it go back-to-back with Canada.That Le Mans clash this year meant Nico Hulkenberg was unable to defend the title he won with Porsche in 2015, when Force India allowed him to compete in two World Endurance Championship events alongside his F1 commitments.?The Austrian Grand Prix and British Grand Prix remain back-to-back but have both shifted one week back, meaning the latter clashes with Formula Es New York race and the mens tennis final at Wimbleon.
