Jaguars 2023 roster review: WR Jaray Jenkins

Jaray Jenkins earned a reputation for clutch plays at LSU. Now he’s trying to beat the odds with the Jaguars as an undrafted rookie.

The brunt of the offseason is in the books and training camp is underway. Join us for a player-by-player review of the Jaguars roster ahead of the 2023 season.

Jaray Jenkins developed a reputation for the dramatic during his time with the LSU Tigers.

When Arkansas rallied to take a fourth quarter lead in 2020, it was Jenkins who caught the game-winner in the final minutes. When No. 15 Texas A&M came to Baton Rouge in 2021, Jenkins hauled in a 28-yard touchdown with 20 seconds left to hand the Aggies an upset loss.

Now Jenkins is trying to beat the odds again as an undrafted rookie hunting for a roster spot with the Jacksonville Jaguars.

While veterans Calvin Ridley, Christian Kirk, Zay Jones, and Jamal Agnew are essentially locks for the 53-man roster, it’s a logjam of young receivers hunting for the final spots.

Contract (2023): $750,000 base salary, $2,500 prorated signing bonus, $752,500 cap hit.

Acquired: The Jaguars signed Jenkins as a rookie free agent on May 1, 2023.

PFF grades:

  • 66.2 (2022 – LSU)
  • 68.0 (2021 – LSU)
  • 65.4 (2020 – LSU)
  • 63.2 (2019 – LSU)

Highlight:

Quote: “I want to attack every play, whether it’s one of those crunch moments or not. The quarterback goes through the reads, and obviously in those times, he comes back to me and I make the catch. I feel like I don’t change anything at all; I just do what I do.” – Jenkins
