Following a decisive Week 1 win over the Cleveland Browns, how did the Jacksonville Jaguars' 2026 rookie draft class fare in this contest?
Let's take a look back.
TE Nate Boerkircher
Boerkircher would end up playing 38 offensive snaps as the Jaguars leaned fairly heavily on their multiple tight-end sets. He caught one pass for nine yards, and out of 50 eligible tight ends, he ranked 23rd in PFF's pass-blocking grade.
DT Albert Regis
Regis played 12 snaps, during which he recorded one tackle. Particularly at the defensive tackle position, there can be a steep learning curve that comes with making the jump to the NFL level. Of the five active defensive tackles on Sunday, Regis played the fewest snaps.
G Emmanuel Pregnon
Pregnon got the start at left guard, where he performed well in his debut. Over 25
pass-blocking snaps, he was credited with allowing just one quarterback pressure. When the Jacksonville backs ran to Pregnon's direct right or left, they totaled 31 yards on five carries, per PFF.
S Jalen Huskey
Huskey was inactive. Caleb Ransaw is the third safety, while Rayuan Lane is a core special teams contributor.
DE Wesley Williams
Williams was also inactive. As the fifth player on the DE depth chart, finding playing time may not come easily, although with BJ Green's status up in the air moving forward after he suffered an elbow injury, the Jaguars may have to rely more heavily on Williams.
TE Tanner Koziol
Koziol was inactive. Quintin Morris was TE3, with his special teams abilities likely a key factor in that decision.
WR Josh Cameron
Cameron caught both of his targets for 20 yards, which included a touchdown on an "absolute dot"from Trevor Lawrence, as Liam Coen put it. Cameron also had one kick return attempt go for 23 yards.
WR CJ Williams
Williams played 10 snaps on offense, but he was not targeted. He played six special teams snaps as well.
