The Jacksonville Jaguars announced that they signed 18 undrafted free agents following the 2026 NFL draft. Seven of those players were ranked among the top UDFAs by NFL.com.
Each year, Chad Reuter puts together a position-by-position look at the best available undrafted rookies following the draft.
Below are the UDFAs signed by the Jaguars who made Reuter’s rankings.
Joey Aguilar, QB, Tennessee
Despite moving up in competition from Appalachian State to Tennessee, Aguilar’s completion percentage jumped from 56% in 2024 to 67% last season, per PFF.
J’Mari Taylor, RB, Virginia
Taylor was a big factor in the passing game from the running back position, totaling 128 targets over four seasons, 54 of which came in 2025.
Michael Wortham, WR, Montana
Primarily a slot wide receiver in 2025, Wortham was an extremely reliable target, catching 80 of his 100 targets, while averaging 14.2 yards per catch with nine touchdowns. He totaled 1,137 receiving yards.
Jordan White, OL, Vanderbilt
White has played 824 snaps at left guard, 1,719 at center, and 256 at right guard. The last two seasons, he’s graded out very well in the run game.
Garrett DiGiorgio, OL, UCLA
Before moving to right guard for the 2025 season, DiGiorgio played 2,575 career snaps at right tackle.
Bryan Thomas Jr., DE, South Carolina
Thomas’ production took a big step forward this past season, as he went from producing 11 pressures and three sacks in 2024 to 38 pressures and seven sacks in 2025.
Devon Marshall, CB, NC State
Marshall made 47 of his 50 tackle attempts and was one of PFF’s top graded run defenders at the cornerback position.
While it’s an uphill battle for all UDFAs to make the 53-man roster, the Jaguars had two players accomplish that last season under James Gladstone and Liam Coen, with defensive ends BJ Green and Danny Striggow making the team.
Throughout the season, we also saw Branson Combs and Cam’Ron Silmon-Craig get their starts on the practice squad before contributing on special teams. Others like Chandler Brayboy, Ja’Quinden Jackson, Patrick Herbert, Jabbar Muhammad, Sal Wormley, and Keivie Rose made the practice squad.
Gladstone and Coen view undrafted free agency as an opportunity to elevate competition throughout the roster, and they won’t shy away from rewarding those who stand out with a roster spot or playing time in some capacity.
