The prospects from the upcoming draft may be limited in terms of traveling and meetings, however, the NFL has still found creative ways to conduct interviews. Whether it’s through FaceTime or any other video contact apps, they’ve all done their best to do their homework on the prospects they could be adding to their teams in a few weeks.
The Jags are amongst the teams who’ve been working hard with interviews despite all of the limitations COVID-19 has caused. Thanks to our comrade of Draft Wire, Justin Melo, we’ve been able to stay in the loop with some of the prospects the Jags have shown interest in after the NFL Scouting Combine. Here are some of the names he’s confirmed who the Jags have contacted:
- A.J. Green, CB, Oklahoma State
- Jordyn Brooks, LB, Texas Tech
- Kenny Willekes, DL, Michigan State
- Nick Harris, Center, Washington
- Darrion Daniels, DL, Nebraska
- Marlon Davidson, DL, Auburn
- James Smith-Williams, EDGE, North Carolina State
- Alohi Gilman, Safety, Notre Dame
One of our guests on the “Bleav in the Jags Podcast,” Jordan Reid, also reported that the Jags had a FaceTime interview with Georgia offensive tackle Andrew Thomas.
In terms of Combine interviews, we reported back in February that the Jags interviewed Miami’s DeeJay Dallas, Florida State’s Cam Akers, Georgia’s Solomon Kindley, and Louisiana States Clyde Edwards-Helaire. Kindley, a Jacksonville native recently sat down with Action News Jax as he’s training locally to prepare for the NFL season. In our latest mock, we slotted Kindley to the Jags in the second round.
