A week after rookie minicamp, several members of the club's draft class signed their first NFL contracts. This left the players, media and fans with lots to talk about. While the rookies remained busy, veterans continued the hard work as well.

Player POV

Tyson Alualu enjoyed his birthday with his family.

This is one of many bodies of water I found my ball swimming in at TPC today. Lesson to all you golfers out there.. Don't play a draw & hit it straight. Bad strategy 100% of the time.

Reporter Roundup

Five Jaguars draft picks signed their rookie contracts. Dante Fowler Jr. kicked things off on Tuesday. James Sample and Neal Sterling signed on Wednesday. Ben Koyack inked his deal on Thursday. Michael Bennett closed out the week by signing on Friday.

Some good news: nice to see the @Jaguars have signed top pick Dante Fowler Jr. in the wake of his torn ACL. Hope he heals up & earns it all.
