The Jaguars’ entire draft class is in the books. On Wednesday, the Jaguars announced the signing of third-round linebacker Quincy Williams, the club’s last straggler in the 2019 group.
Williams, the brother of third-overall pick Quinnen Williams, was a surprise pick in the third round. The Murray State linebacker wasn’t among the 400 players scouted by NFL.com’s Daniel Jeremiah, nor was he on the list of 730 prospects compiled by The Athletic’s Arif Hasan. He wasn’t invited to the Combine and Murray State didn’t have a Pro Day, so Williams assumed he was going to go undrafted.
“For me coming from a small school and didn’t get a combine invite, yeah, I kind of did,” Williams said. “Then I had to go to Pro Day somewhere else, so most people thought I was a safety or a smaller linebacker, so yeah it was a thought in my mind. But then I know my abilities, and I believe in myself.”
Here’s the full breakdown of the Jags’ class, courtesy of PFR’s tracker:
- 1-7: Josh Allen, DE (Kentucky): Signed
- 2-35: Jawaan Taylor, T (Florida): Signed
- 3-69: Josh Oliver, TE (San Jose State): Signed
- 3-98: Quincy Williams, LB (Murray State): Signed
- 5-140: Ryquell Armstead, RB (Temple): Signed
- 6-178: Gardner Minshew, QB (Washington State): Signed
- 7-235: Dontavius Russell, DT (Auburn): Signed
If the picture for the article is Williams, I’d put them at TE rather than LB

Quincy can get those cheeks clapped
Many teams were looking at this kid but it sure seems the Jags could have taken him much later than 98th.
I believe they obviously wanted him and didn’t think they could wait…..but now the pressures on for him to prove worthy of the 3rd round.
Is quincy The one on the left or the right?
