A former Jacksonville Jaguars player took a step toward entering the restaurant business May 9 when a Downtown Investment Authority committee voted to recommend an incentive for his proposed brunch establishment.

Marcus Stroud, a defensive lineman for the Jaguars from 2001 through 2007, plans to open Baby Got Brunch in a single-story, 5,000-square-foot space at 610 N. Julia St. It’s part of the Residences at City Place condominiums at 311 W. Ashley St.

The name of the restaurant stems from Stroud’s nickname, Big Baby, which he was given by his teammates while playing at the University of Georgia.
