The Jaguars are continuing their aggressive approach to free agency, bringing in a pair of Steelers who could fill immediate needs.

According to Ryan O’Halloran of the Florida Times-Union, the Jags are hosting wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders and defensive lineman Ziggy Hood on free agent visits.

Sanders figures to draw plenty of interest after his 67-catch, six-touchdown season last year, which came after the Steelers matched New England’s offer sheet when he was a restricted free agent.

Hood hasn’t lived up to expectations that came with being a first-round pick, but the Jaguars are developing a deeper line (with the addition of Red Bryant), so he could become more of a rotational player.
