How the Jacksonville Jaguars rookies played against the Buffalo Bills

How the Jacksonville Jaguars rookies played against the Buffalo Bills

The Jacksonville Jaguars have high expectations for their 2024 rookie class. Each week, we’ll take a look at what the rookie class is up to on Sunday.

So, how did the Jaguars’ rookies play in the 47-10 loss to the Buffalo Bills in Week 3? We explain below.

WR Brian Thomas Jr. (Round 1, #23 overall)

It was a quieter night for the Jaguars’ star rookie, at least compared to his red-hot first two outings. The Jaguars couldn’t reach Thomas on deep shots, and he was the target of Trevor Lawrence’s fateful interception to Damar Hamlin.

Thomas finished his night with five catches for 48 yards, but he did have more targets in this game (nine) than he did in the first two games combined (eight).

DL Maason Smith (Round 2, No. 48 overall)

It wasn’t a great day for anyone on defense, but Maason Smith was active this week after being a healthy scratch last week. And while he didn’t make a tackle, he did make the Jaguars’ lone quarterback hit of the night.

It’s clear Smith is still getting used to the NFL, but there have been some flashes.

CB Jarrian Jones (Round 3, No. 96 overall)

Jarrian Jones got the start at nickel cornerback and played well on the opening drive, making an impressive tackle in space on the game’s first third down. However, he injured his shoulder on a tackle later in the drive and never returned to the field.

OT Javon Foster (Round 4, #114 overall)

Javon Foster was a healthy player in Week 3.

DL Jordan Jefferson (Round 4, #116 overall)

Jordan Jefferson was a healthy player in Week 3.

CB De’Antre Prince (Round 5, #153 overall)

After an impressive play in Week 2, De’Antre Prince saw limited playing time in Week 3 and ended his night without a tackle.

RB Keilan Robinson (Round 5, No. 167 overall)

Keilan Robinson is currently on the injured list.

K Cam Little (Round 6, #212 Overall)

Cam Little scored 40 percent of the Jaguars’ points on Monday thanks to a 41-yard field goal and a made extra point.

EDGE Myles Cole (Round 7, No. 236)

Myles Cole was a healthy player in Week 3.
