What did we see during the Jaguars' rookie minicamp practice on Friday?
It is far from graduation day for the Jaguars' 30-plus draft picks, undrafted rookies, tryout players, and practice squad or second-year veterans. But Friday's rookie minicamp was the first of two practices that will help bring the next generation into the fold.
So, what all did we see at the Miller Electric Center's practice field as the rookies went through their first NFL practice? We break it down below.It is hard to have too many bonafide takeaways from rookie minicamp practices, but one thing that is clear from the first practice is that Brian Thomas Jr. is as advertised athletically. Thomas simply looked the part of a first-round receiver in terms of size, speed, and overall movement ability on Friday.
"It's a good opportunity. You know, I'm about a 40-minute flight from here. So it's a good opportunity. And not only that, it is a great football team that is on the cusp of doing some really great things inside of the division and in the league. So, you know, I thought it'd be a good opportunity," Landry said after practice.
“We've started from Phase one with our special teams, introducing the new scheme, the layout. We've worked it," Pederson said. “Actually, him, Christian Braswell, Cooper Hodges, because they're on IR, they get a pension credit, so they can't be a part of the rookie minicamp, which is kind of interesting," Pederson said. "But Ventrell's doing extremely well. He's healthy and he's moving around really well. He's competing and doing some really good things out there.”
