The Jacksonville Jaguars are entering an exciting 2025 season, showcasing rookie wide receiver Chandler Brayboy, a product of Elon University. Brayboy, at 6'1" and 199 pounds, made an impressive impact during his college career with 90 targets, 979 receiving yards, and eight touchdowns. His ability to gain yards after the catch (YAC) ranked him among the top 12 FCS receivers, averaging 7.4 YAC. A versatile player, Brayboy has experience in both outside and slot positions, as well as contributing to special teams with significant kick return success, averaging nearly 36 yards per return last season.
With established receivers Brian Thomas Jr., Travis Hunter, Dyami Brown, and Parker Washington solidifying the top of the depth chart, Brayboy's path to a roster spot will be competitive. The Jaguars may opt to keep five or six receivers, and Brayboy could standout due to his special teams contributions. However, with the jump from FCS to NFL and competition from returning players like Josh Cephus, Brayboy's most likely immediate role may be on the practice squad as he acclimates to the professional level.
