Jacksonville, Fl — The Jacksonville Jaguars ended the NFL Draft with 13 new players, including several offensive weapons for Trevor Lawrence to use in the upcoming season.
Seventh-round pick Cooper Hodges played at Baker County High School in Glen St. Mary.
“It hasn’t even really set in yet,” Hodges said in a conference call with reporters. “I’ve been watching the Jags for a long time. Just a lifelong fan. They’re the reason I got into professional football, just knowing there was a team 30 minutes away, going to games.
“To play 30 minutes away. For these home games, you’re gonna have family and friends there all the time, it’s just honestly a blessing and a great opportunity for me and I couldn’t be more excited for it.”, Hodges said.
Here is a full list of the drafted players by Jacksonville:
OT Anton Harrison (Oklahoma) - 1st round
TE Brenton Strange (Penn State) - 2nd round
RB Tank Bigsby (Auburn) - 3rd round
ILB Ventrell Miller (Florida) - 4th round

I'm thinking Jags get a Sunday or Monday for sure AND a Thursday but two possible London games could be in the morning as the only game on too. Shad brought up Primetime games late in our interview Thursday night. Here's the link https://t.co/JMCe9vGitU https://t.co/Xij6RoqDnf
