Apr 28, 2018 at 10:57 AM

JACKSONVILLE – The quest for depth and potential continues.

The Jaguars made a move for those traits late in the draft Saturday, selecting a linebacker who could contribute on special teams and in a reserve role.

Leon Jacobs, an outside linebacker from Wisconsin, on Saturday became the first of two seventh-round selections for the Jaguars in the 2018 NFL Draft. The Jaguars selected Jacobs No. 230 overall.

Jacobs (6-feet-1, 246 pounds), a redshirt senior, attended the NFL Scouting Combine this offseason. He played 14 games with 3.5 sacks and 10 tackles for loss this past season.
