Jaguars' Rookie Minicamp Hints at Emerging Depth and Playmakers

Jacksonville’s 27 rookies (10 draft picks, 17 UDFAs) hit the Miller Electric Center for a non-contact rookie minicamp, offering early signs for the team’s future. Second‑round TE Nate Boerkircher and third‑round OL Emmanuel Pregnon looked the part physically, though the practice format limited full evaluation. Day 3 standouts included TE Tanner Koziol and WR CJ Williams, who showed fluid movement and sure hands, and UDFA RB J’Mari Taylor, who flashed explosiveness and pass-catching ability. Veterans such as Chandler Brayboy added depth, while QBs Joey Aguilar and Derek Robertson pushed for No.3 behind Carter Bradley, with Robertson showing touch and Aguilar a live arm but inconsistent accuracy. The three-day camp will continue with pads for clearer assessments.
