Jaguars 2023 roster review: OL Samuel Jackson
The brunt of the offseason is in the books and training camp is coming soon. Join us in the NFL’s dead zone with a player-by-player review of the Jaguars roster ahead of the 2023 season.
The Jacksonville Jaguars will have only four newcomers on the offensive line when they open training camp. The first two — veteran offensive tackle Josh Wells and first-round pick Anton Harrison — will draw a lot of eyeballs following the departure of Jawaan Taylor in free agency.
The third addition to the offensive line was Cooper Hodges, a seventh-round pick who is listed at tackle by the Jaguars.
That makes Samuel Jackson, a 6’5, 330-pound rookie from UCF, as the only interior offensive lineman who was added to the Jaguars’ roster this offseason.
Given the team’s consistent struggles at left guard during the 2022 season, Jackson will have just as much of a chance as any to prove he’s worth a roster spot.
Contract (2023): $750,000 base salary, $2,666 prorated signing bonus, $752,666 cap hit.
Acquired: Jaguars signed Jackson as an undrafted free agent on May 1, 2023.

Quote: “I can play anywhere on the line. My film speaks for that. … My biggest thing would be versatility and then leadership on top of that.” – Jackson
