While much of the focus today has been on the signings of second-round picks, there was one fourth-round pick who remained unsigned…until now. The Jaguars announced that they have inked fourth-round linebacker Jack Kiser to his rookie deal, a move that wraps up their rookie class signings.
While the unsigned second-round picks have been pushing for more guaranteed money, it’s uncertain why Kiser was the lone holdout from the fourth round. The 107th pick in this year’s draft, the Notre Dame product finished his college career with a career-high 90 tackles in 2024.
While the Jaguars will naturally have higher hopes for the rookie, Kiser was a special teams standout in college, so he should have an immediate impact on that unit in 2025. He should also see some reps on defense, although he’ll have to compete with a number of his teammates (including fellow rookie Jalen McLeod) for playing time.
With the signing, the Jaguars have officially signed their entire 2025 draft class:
- Round 1, No. 2 (from Browns): Travis Hunter (WR/CB, Colorado) (signed)
- Round 3, No. 88 (from Vikings): Caleb Ransaw (CB, Tulane) (signed)

- Round 4, No. 107: Jack Kiser (LB, Notre Dame)
- Round 6, No. 194 (from Seahawks): Jalen McLeod (LB, Auburn) (signed)

- Round 7, No. 221: Jonah Monheim (C, USC) (signed)
- Round 7, No. 236 (from Broncos through Eagles, Commanders and Texans): LeQuint Allen (RB, Syracuse) (signed)
