In addition to K’Lavon Chaisson, Daniel Thomas, and Jake Luton signing their rookie deals Monday, seventh-round selection Chris Claybrooks also made his NFL career official by signing the dotted line. This now means the Jacksonville Jaguars have come to terms with their full draft class.

Claybrooks was the Jags’ last selection in April’s draft and was taken with the No. 223rd overall pick out of Memphis. While with the Tigers, Claybrooks played defensive back, garnering 54 total tackles, two picks (one of which were for a touchdown), and a forced fumble. He also was a kick returner for the Tigers and ended his career with 11 returns for 338 yards and a touchdown.
After the draft, the team stated that they would be looking to utilize Claybrooks as a returner as he offers blazing speed, which can be seen below in the following video that he sent to all 32 NFL teams.
While it’s uncertain as to if the 4.25 40-yard dash time was official or not, it’s clear Claybrooks can be a difference maker for the Jags at a position that can make field positioning easier for the offense.
Per Over the Cap, Claybrook’s deal is worth an estimated amount of $3,397,388 in totality. His signing bonus will be worth over $102K and will be evenly dispersed throughout his four-year deal.
