Taylor (5’10”/199) spent the first four seasons of his college career at North Carolina Central, where he racked up 1,887 rushing yards and 23 touchdowns before transferring to Virginia in 2025. While he’s a bit undersized for the position and more quick than fast (4.63 40-yard dash), Taylor has been an above-average back when it comes to taking on contact. In his last two seasons, he averaged a respectable 3.49 yards after contact per attempt while forcing a missed tackle on 24.3 percent of his carries, per PFF. He’s an adequate receiver out of the backfield, totaling 200-plus receiving yards in each of his final three seasons, and ended his career with 98 receptions. His five drops in 2025 marked a career high, but if he can prove to be a capable pass-blocker, there could be a third-down role in his future. He didn’t see much special teams work at Virginia, but at NC Central, he totaled 213 special teams snaps, which should go a long way in helping him secure a roster spot. With two recent draft picks and a real investment in Chris Rodriguez ahead of him on the depth chart, Taylor is likely trying to win a practice squad spot unless injuries happen ahead of him.

Marshall (5’10/194) played two seasons at Villanova before joining the FBS ranks at NC State. He logged two interceptions and seven PBUs as a junior. In his final season, Marshall notched another two picks and led the country with 16 PBUs. He also stood out during Shrine Bowl practices but was surprisingly left off the NFL Combine invitees list. Marshall doesn’t stand out as a notable athlete on tape, largely winning with physicality and technical ability when matched up against larger, after wideouts. He confirmed this at his Pro Day by running a 4.64 40 (29th-percentile) on his way to a 4.24 (out of 10) Relative Athletic Score. Marshall doesn’t have the athletic traits to regularly face WR1s at the next level, but he could find a niche as a feisty reserve.

The latest QB prospect to come out of Tennessee, Aguilar (6’3”/229) joined the Vols in 2025 after spending two seasons at Appalachian State, and like so many QBs before him, thrived in Josh Heupel’s scheme. Also, like previous Heupel signal-callers, Aguilar faces questions about his ability to make reads at the NFL level, and his accuracy numbers, which saw a massive bump in 2025 (67.3 completion percent), may prove unsustainable. Aguilar rushed for 553 yards and nine touchdowns in his three years of FBS play, showing some ability to make plays with his feet. His career 12.0 pressure-to-sack rate suggests he knows where to go with the ball or when to take off and run to avoid a loss, but he’s also proven to be careless at times, throwing 10-plus interceptions in all three seasons as a starter. He will be 25 at the start of this season, and will likely need to battle for a spot on the 53-man roster with a chance to stick around as a practice squad member.

Hughes (6'1/228) redshirted as a freshman before taking on a part-time role in 2022. He became a primary starter in each of the next three seasons. He’s a sound run defender who tallied 100 combined tackles in 2025. He also improved as a pass defender, notching his first and second career interceptions. Hughes blazed a 4.39 40-yard dash at his Pro Day, giving him 99.9th-percentile straight-line speed. He struggled in most of the other drills, dropping his RAS to 7.59. Hughes was a reliable off-ball player in college, but he’s facing a steep jump in competition and doesn’t have a signature trait that will earn him playing time out of the gate. He projects as a special teamer early in his career.

Already going on 25 years old, Durfee (6'4/247) enters the NFL with only two years of FBS experience, two years where he did not stuff the stat sheet as a pass rusher. He is short-armed for an EDGE rusher, while NFL.com’s Lance Zeirlein has noted his overall lack of polish. Zeirlein does think there is the kernel of something more there, but Durfee’s advanced age means this offseason could be his one shot to crack the Jags’ 53-man roster. He’s going to have to shine on special teams this summer.

Williams is listed at 6-foot-1, 205 pounds on Stanford’s website, but we don’t have an official measurement on him because he didn’t test at the Combine and didn’t seem to be on the draft industrial complex’s radar. He did measure in at 6'0/203 at Stanford’s Pro Day, where he somehow managed a 5.76 RAS. Not exactly emblematic of a future NFL wideout. Neither NFL.com’s Lance Zeirliein nor The Athletic’s Dane Brugler wrote him up, to say nothing of our own Eric Froton. Williams started his career at USC in 2022 before transferring to Wisconsin then ending up in Palo Alto. He did manage 59 receptions in 2025, leading the team and producing 749 yards and six scores. Maybe he’s good. We frankly couldn’t tell you. We are told he was an 81 OVR on EA Sports College Football 26. Jaguars GM James Gladstone is hoping he’s pulled a fast one on the league, but it’s just as likely he’s playing himself.

With a bulky frame, Cameron (6’1/220) profiles best as a physical, contested-catch receiver. He started almost exclusively on the outside at Baylor, operating as the Bears’ No. 1 wideout his last two seasons. Totaling 19 touchdowns over that span, Cameron also led the Big 12 with 5.8 receptions per game in 2025. Cameron lacks the burst and route-running skills to separate consistently and is not a yards-after-catch player. However, he possesses good ball skills, rarely tallying drops while his physical presence often bullied college cornerbacks. The Athletic’s Dane Brugler also notes Cameron is a “competitive blocker and can be an asset in the run game.” An NFL team can build upon Cameron’s physical toolset to develop him as a blocker and big-bodied receiver at the next level.

Koziol (6’6.5/247) spent three seasons at Ball State honing his skills. He led the Cardinals with seven touchdowns as a rookie. While his three touchdowns in 2023 don’t pop off the box score, Koziol was the only player on the team to score more than one touchdown through the air. He then put it all together in 2024 with 94 receptions for 839 yards and eight scores. Having thoroughly dominated the MAC, Koziol got called up to the Big 12 for his final season of college ball. He led the conference with 74 receptions in his lone season at Houston. Koziol turned that into 727 yards and six scores. Despite his gaudy counting stats, Koziol has several limitations. He is a non-factor after the catch, averaging just 3.5 YAC per catch over his career. He’s also a lumbering route runner, leading to an inflated number of his targets being contested. All in, Koziol looks like a rim finisher in the red zone, but a high-leverage TE2 role may be his ceiling. The Jaguars double-down at tight end this draft, adding more of a receiving threat in Koziol after selecting a blocking tight end in Nate Boerkircher in the second round.

Williams (6'4/256) was a player on radars after he picked up 7.5 sacks and 13.5 tackles in his junior year at Duke, but he didn’t have nearly the same production in 2025 with just two sacks and nine tackles for loss in his 14 contests. He has a chance to be an immediate contributor on special teams however, as he blocked five kicks in his four years in the ACC. He didn’t test particularly well either in Indianapolis, as he ran a poor 4.89s dash for a player who projects to play outside, although his 1.68s 10-yard split is more promising. The hope is that the 2024 version is more indicative of his talents than his 2025 campaign, and the ability to make an impact with a potential blocked kick won’t hurt his chances of making the roster.

Huskey (6'1/196) was a three-year starter in the collegiate ranks, playing the final two years of his career at Maryland where he earned Second-Team All-Big 10 honors in his Senior season. Huskey demonstrates a willingness to tackle in the open field but can be beaten with quickness underneath and with speed over the top. 11 interceptions as a starter highlights his instincts and ability to read the field but average speed and quickness mean Huskey appears to have back-end roster upside at the professional level. Huskey joins a Jacksonville defense that gave up the fourth lowest drop back EPA in 2025.
