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.
When the Jacksonville Jaguars hit the field in the fall, they’ll have 21 of their 22 starters from the 2022 season still on the roster. The only departure was right tackle Jawaan Taylor, who signed a massive deal with the Kansas City Chiefs in free agency.
To address that departure, the Jaguars selected Oklahoma’s Anton Harrison late in the first round of the 2023 NFL draft.
While other rookies on the roster will be battling for play time and roster spots in training camp, there’s not much mystery about Harrison’s immediate future. Barring injury, he’ll be the starting right tackle in Week 1 and for the foreseeable future in Jacksonville.
Contract (2023): $750,000 base salary, $1,649,731 prorated signing bonus, $2,399,731 cap hit.
Acquired: The Jaguars drafted Harrison with the No. 27 overall pick in the first round of the 2023 NFL draft.
- 72.6 (2022 – OKLA)
- 77.0 (2021 – OKLA)
- 69.1 (2020 – OKLA)

Quote: “He’s going to come in and work over on the right side. He’ll be next to [right guard] Brandon Scherff and sort of solidify that spot for us. His versatility, not only to play the left side which he played in school, but he can also move inside and potentially play guard, so there’s so many things that we can do. But we want to keep him in one spot, get him to start developing and growing in one spot and feel comfortable there before we start moving him around.” – Jaguars coach Doug Pederson on Harrison
