Former Notre Dame Five-Star Recruit Signs with Jacksonville Jaguars

Remember Aaron Lynch’s brief Notre Dame career? The former prized recruit and impact freshman just signed a new deal with the NFL’s Jaguars

Quick – do you remember Aaron Lynch’s career at Notre Dame?  If you blinked you very possibly may have missed it because he transfered to South Florida after just one season where there were certainly flashes of brilliance for the former five-star recruit.

Lynch played in 12 games his one season at Notre Dame in 2011, recording a team-high 5.5 sacks and 14 quarterback hurries.  It’s almost scary to think about what might have been had he been on the 2012 defensive line with as great as that group was.

The former top-ten national recruit went on to play at South Florida in 2013 after having to sit out 2012 due to transferring.  He then declared for the 2014 NFL Draft where the San Francisco 49ers eventually took him with the 150th overall pick.

Fast-forward six years down the road and Aaron Lynch has signed a new deal with the Jacksonville Jaguars after spending the last two years with the Chicago Bears.

Terms of Lynch’s deal in Jacksonville were not yet announced.  Lynch has recorded 20 sacks in his 73 game NFL career to date and for the second time in his football career now finds himself leaving the mid-west to play for a Florida based football team.

Former Georgia S J.R. Reed’s new number on Jacksonville Jaguars

Here’s what number for Georgia football safety JR Reed will wear for the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Former Georgia safety J.R. Reed surprisingly did not get selected in the 2020 NFL Draft but quickly signed an undrafted free agent contract with the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Reed wore #20 during his years at Georgia, and according to the Jaguars’ official website, he will don #30 in Jacksonville.

The fact Reed went undrafted was a huge head scratcher. He started every game at safety for Georgia from 2017-2019 and was named to the Associated Press All-SEC second team (2017) and Walter Camp All-America first team (2019).

Apparently, the reason Reed went undrafted was thanks to a torn ACL he suffered while at Prestonwood Christian High School in Plano, Texas.

His father, Jake Reed (former Minnesota Vikings and New Orleans Saints WR), told Vikings writer Chris Tomasson that Reed was medically flagged as a result of that injury.

I’d expect Reed to earn a roster spot despite going undrafted and being medically flagged. If not in Jacksonville, then somewhere else.

Reed transferred to Georgia following his freshman season at Tulsa. After sitting the 2016 season, he became a staple on the Bulldogs’ 2017 Rose Bowl championship team.

In 2019, Reed was named one of four permanent team captains.

Reed made a number of big plays during his career as a Bulldog, with big interceptions against Alabama, Florida and two career touchdowns as well.

Reed is also the nephew of Dale Carter, a four-time pro bowler and two-time All-Pro.

Report: Why Georgia S JR Reed did not get drafted

Twitter reactions to Georgia S JR Reed signing UDFA deal

Georgia safety JR Reed did not get picked in the 2020 NFL Draft, but he did sign an undrafted free agent deal with the Jacksonville Jaguars in the moments following the draft.

The fact that Reed went undrafted was a huge head scratcher. He started every game at safety for Georgia from 2017-2019, being named to the Associated Press All-SEC 2nd Team (2017) and Walter Camp All-America First Team (2019).

He has some of the best instincts I’ve seen from a collegiate defensive back, does not miss tackles and has a nose for the football.

Apparently, the reason Reed went undrafted is because of a torn ACL he suffered while at Prestonwood Christian High School in Plano, Texas.

His father, Jake Reed (former Minnesota Vikings and New Orleans Saints WR), told Vikings beat writer Chris Tomasson that Reed was medically flagged as a result of that injury.

Tomasson writes for the St. Paul Pioneer Press, a newspaper based in Saint Paul, Minnesota, primarily serving the Twin Cities metropolitan area.

Jaguars make decision on former Georgia football WR

The Jacksonville Jaguars have made their decision on former Georgia football wide receiver.

The Jacksonville Jaguars have exercised their team options for fifth-year wide receiver Chris Conley, the club recently announced.

Conley, a former Georgia standout who was drafted in the third round of the 2015 NFL Draft, is now under contract with the Jaguars through the 2020 season.

Conley, who came to Athens as a 4-star wide receiver out of North Paulding High School, signed with the Jaguars as an unrestricted free agent prior to the 2019 season. This year, his first with the Jags, he set a career-high for receptions (47), receiving yards (775) and receiving average (16.5). He made 14 starts and appeared in all 16 games, catching five touchdowns passes, which includes a 70-yarder in a victory against the Jets, the Jaguars’ longest TD of the 2019 season.

From 2011 to 2014, during his time at Georgia, he had 1,938 yards and 20 touchdowns.

He turned heads when he produced some of the most impressive NFL Combine numbers we have ever seen, running the 40 in 4.35 seconds and then following that up with a 45 inch vertical jump.
