Quarterback prospect has Jaguars attention in NFL draft
One quarterback draft prospect in particular seems to have the Jacksonville Jaguars' attention.
The Jacksonville Jaguars have met virtually with Texas Tech quarterback Behren Morton. In an interview with Sports Illustrated's Justin Melo , Morton mentioned the Jaguars as one of the teams he has met with via Zoom recently. As we discussed recently, the Jaguars won't be hosting prospects on official pre-draft visits.
Jaguars' 2026 NFL draft prospect to watch: QB Behren Morton An experienced player, Morton has almost 1,400 dropbacks over the last four seasons. Each year from 2023 through 2025, Morton saw his completion rate and yards per pass attempt both increase, per PFF . His most productive season was in 2024, when he threw for 3,335 yards and 27 touchdowns.
This past year, however, Morton's efficiency was up, as he set career highs in completion rate and yards per pass attempt. He's thrown 71 career touchdowns and been able to mostly limit interceptions, never throwing more than eight in a season. Morton has had to navigate injuries in his career.
"I’m excited to have this opportunity," Morton told Melo of being an NFL draft prospect. "I’m going to walk into a quarterback room that already has a veteran in it. I’m going to learn from him.
