The Jacksonville Jaguars are officially turning the page to the future, as they announced the signing of nine of their 2026 NFL Draft picks just in time for rookie minicamp. Rookies reported to the Miller Electric Center on Thursday, with camp officially kicking off on Friday. This marks a crucial step in building the team's foundation, as the Jaguars look to blend fresh talent into their roster for the upcoming season.
The only draft pick yet to put pen to paper is second-round selection (56th overall) tight end Nate Boerkircher, who remains unsigned as camp begins. Boerkircher, a standout from Texas A&M, is expected to be a key piece in the Jaguars' offensive plans, so fans will be eagerly watching for his deal to close soon.
In total, Jacksonville is welcoming 28 rookies to the fold—10 drafted players and 18 undrafted free agents. To make room for this influx of new talent, the team released second-year offensive lineman Sal Wormley, ensuring the roster sits at 91 players (with one spot reserved for an international player exception). This roster management is a common preseason shuffle, allowing the Jaguars to evaluate all their fresh faces in a competitive environment.
Among the signed rookies, the Jaguars are bringing in a mix of positions that could energize the squad. From offensive weapons to defensive standouts, these players will be donning the teal and black for the first time, hoping to make an impression during minicamp drills. For fans looking to gear up like their new favorite players, the excitement of rookie season is the perfect time to refresh your wardrobe with Jaguars-inspired apparel—whether it's a classic jersey or a game-day tee to celebrate the next generation of talent.
