Eller was last with the Los Angeles Chargers as an assistant director of pro scouting, a role he held for six years.
McConnaughey was in Los Angeles with Eller holding a national scout role. Inside the League’s Neil Stratton reported this news six days ago as McConnaughey had been with the Chargers for 24 years.
Tom McConnaughey, who split w/the #Chargers last month after 24 years with the team, has landed w/the #Jaguars as a national scout. It's one of the few hires this spring of a seasoned, experienced evaluator in a cycle that has heavily favored youth & in-house promotions. #NFL

Stevenson, a former player for the Giants, joins the Jags after time with the San Francisco 49ers. He worked under Jags current general manager Trent Baalke while with the 49ers and the two have decided to reunite. He was a regional scout with San Francisco before leaving and also was a scouting assistant prior. Stratton also reported his departure back in May.
John Stevenson, who covered the SW for the #49ers & has been w/the team almost 6 years, has left for a more senior role, believed to be w/the #Jaguars. A former LB @ @GeorgiaSouthern, he went to camp with the #Giants in 2013. #NFLDraft

McCloughan is a name many will recognize because he’s from a family who has been heavily involved with the NFL scouting community. He’s the brother of former 49ers and Washington Football Team general manager Scot McCloughan. The last team he was with was the Raiders back in 2019.
Former #Raiders area scout Dave McCloughan will be part of the new-look #Jaguars scouting staff in a senior role (possibly national scout). McCloughan, who comes from a scouting family, was most recently with (then-)Oakland from 2011-2019. He has also scouted for the @NFLPABowl.
