JACKSONVILLE – The Jacksonville Jaguars have signed OL Kilian Zierer, the team announced today.

Zierer, a native of Munich, Germany, is a member of the NFL's International Player Pathway (IPP) Program. Through the IPP Program, he spent two seasons with the Houston Texans (2023-24) and time with the Cleveland Browns, Atlanta Falcons and San Francisco 49ers this year.

Zierer played collegiately at Auburn University for three years (2020-22) after transferring from College of the Canyons. He played in 21 games (16 starts) for the Tigers and started every game at left tackle in 2022.

Established in 2017, the IPP Program aims to provide elite international athletes with the opportunity to compete at the NFL level, improve their skills and ultimately work to earn a spot on an NFL roster. IPP athletes are eligible to fill a 17th practice squad roster — an additional spot reserved for an international player — applicable to athletes outside the United States and Canada.
