The Jacksonville Jaguars made a bold move in the sixth round of the 2026 NFL Draft, trading up to select Baylor wide receiver Josh Cameron with the 191st overall pick. Here's everything you need to know about the newest addition to the Jags' receiving corps.

Cameron brings a wealth of experience to Jacksonville after spending five seasons at Baylor. Over the last two years, he emerged as a central figure in the Bears' passing attack, earning 177 targets during that span. For his career, Cameron hauled in 170 of 261 targets—an impressive 65% catch rate—while averaging 13.1 yards per reception. All 19 of his touchdowns came over his final two collegiate seasons, showcasing his ability to find the end zone when it matters most.

Standing at 220 pounds, Cameron is built more like a running back than a traditional wideout. He's spent the majority of his snaps lined up outside, but don't let that fool you—he's equally comfortable doing the dirty work. According to Pro Football Focus, Cameron graded out well as a run-blocker last season, a trait that often translates well to the NFL. He also made his mark on special teams, returning 45 punts in his college career, including an eye-popping average of nearly 21 yards per return in 2024.

Scouting reports highlight both his strengths and areas for growth. Dane Brugler of The Athletic notes that Cameron "plays well through contact and has functional strength and ball-winning size," but cautions that "his struggle in separating and avoiding contested windows will be a limiting factor." The Athletic analyst adds that while Cameron has traits that intrigue NFL teams, "development time is needed."

NFL.com's Lance Zierlein echoes that sentiment, describing Cameron as "built like a big running back" who isn't shy about using his size and body control to rack up touchdowns in the red zone. Zierlein praises his smooth tracking and adjustment to throws, noting that drops are rare. However, he points out that Cameron "lacks suddenness to beat press" and will need significant route work to avoid a heavy diet of contested catches. "Proving he can move beyond the relatively simple asks of the Baylor offense will be critical if he is to become more than a backup," Zierlein writes.

Jaguars General Manager James Gladstone is clearly excited about the pick. "He fits the bill for a lot of the things that I've long appreciated in wide receiver play," Gladstone said. "Both guys we drafted at the position are extremely tough, extremely good."

For fans looking to rep their new favorite receiver, keep an eye out for Cameron's jersey—and don't forget to stock up on gear that matches his hard-nosed, run-after-catch style. Whether he's making a contested grab in the red zone or taking a punt to the house, Josh Cameron is a player worth watching as he develops into his NFL role.
