The Jags receiving corps got stronger after the draft and there is a lot that needs to be sorted out behind star D.J. Chark.

WR7: C.J. Board

C.J. Board made the Jags’ final 53-man roster as the team’s last receiver and will have to fight for the same spot again. In 2019, he register two receptions for 31 yards and will have to impress to stick around with the Jags drafting two rookie receivers.

WR8: Michael Walker

Michael Walker was signed off the Jags’ practice squad in November as a result of the team dealing with injuries at receiver. He participated in seven games registering two catches for 15 yards. He also registered 18 kick returns for 411 yards and had three punt returns for 13 yards.

Like Board, it will be an uphill battle for Walker to make the team, but if he proves to be a solid returner, that would help his chances.

WR9: Terry Godwin

When looking at his college career and the highlight plays he made with the University of Georgia, Terry Godwin is a sleeper to make some noise in the preseason. He signed with the team’s practice squad in September of last year  after being drafted in the seventh round of the 2019 NFL Draft by the Carolina Panthers.

Unfortunately, he was never promoted to the Jags’ main roster but re-signed with the team this offseason. If he can make the highlight plays he did while at UGA this preseason, he could earn a spot on the practice squad again, which would allow him to keep developing under McCardell.
