Trent Baalke, the general manager of the Jacksonville Jaguars, was at the center of an unusual incident during a press conference on April 19th, 2024.
During a discussion about the upcoming NFL draft, Baalke paused mid-sentence. A sound resembling flatulence followed shortly after. While the video doesn’t explicitly confirm it, many online believe it was indeed a fart.
Baalke acknowledged the sound with a quick “Excuse me” but continued his answer about the draft strategy. Interestingly, there wasn’t any laughter or reaction from those present at the conference.

Additionally, howw free agency signings might influence their draft strategy and the importance of building a roster that can compete within the AFC South division were also brainstormed.
