Jacksonville Jaguars associate strength coach Kevin Maxen hopes to inspire others by publicly coming out as gay.

"I have a pretty good sense of humor," he told Outsports."So a lot of the guys I can joke with and not take anything personally.""Kevin is a Jacksonville Jaguar through and through, and a key member of our football team and community," Shad Khan said in a statement to ESPN."I look forward to seeing Kevin next week at training camp, and hope that he comes to work each day during camp and through the season feeling confident, free and at peace.
