It obviously takes a lot more than one play to evaluate a football player. But sometimes one highlight is all it takes to see the size, speed, strength, athleticism, and skills that someone brings to the field.
In the 2023 NFL draft, the Jacksonville Jaguars added 13 new players to their roster. While some — like former Auburn running back Tank Bigsby and Florida linebacker Ventrell Miller — might be familiar to Jaguars fans, others are new names and faces.
So what do the new members of the Jaguars bring to the table? Here’s one highlight from each draftee that shows what Jacksonville hopes it’s going to get:
1st round (27th overall): OT Anton Harrison

5th round (160th overall): S Antonio Johnson
💥 S Antonio Johnson is an atypical Safety !
Tall for the position with good length.
Has a good run support with nice instincts. His tackling radius is huge and he could be really good as a nickel in NFL.IMO he is not versatile.
Lacks of playmaking ability and IQ.R2 talent ! pic.twitter.com/2ktlPqaLBH

6th round (185th overall): WR Parker Washington
Parker Washington fits the mold of a strong slot receiver. Large, outstanding hands with good quickness and playmaking ability in contested situations.
Parker produced at a high level despite playing behind Jahan Dotson and ranks among the top WRs in Penn State history.
