Signed as a UDFA shortly after the draft, Mevis fared rather poorly in a Thursday workout. The rookie kicker missed badly on three warmup kicks, one of which drilling ex-Cowboys HC Dave Campo (of Hard Knocks 2002 fame), per ESPN.com’s Michael DiRocco. Mevis had struggled during the start of Jaguars camp. This is Fry’s seventh NFL team since he entered the league in 2019. The workout-circuit regular has played in three regular-season games — one-offs with the Falcons, Bengals and Chiefs. The Jags also have kicker Ryan Santoso on their roster.

A hamstring injury, sustained during a workout shortly after a flight to Green Bay, sidelined Watkins for the start of Packers camp. The veteran will try to shake a well-earned injury-prone label in Green Bay, though the former top-five pick’s roster spot may not be 100% secure. Andrews, who returned in 2020 after missing all of the 2019 season due to blood clots, underwent offseason shoulder surgery. He is back for a seventh season as the Patriots’ starting center.

Jaguars Sign 15 Undrafted Free Agents

The Jaguars stole some headlines during the draft when they selected Travon Walker with the first-overall pick. Days later, the team is still adding. The Jaguars announced the signing of 15 undrafted free agents:

Israel Antwine, DT (Oklahoma State)
Kevin Austin, WR (Notre Dame)
Shabari Davis, CB (Southeast Missouri State)
De’Shaan Dixon, OLB (Norfolk State)
Nick Ford, OL (Utah)
Benjie Franklin, CB (Tarleton State)
Grayson Gunter, TE (Southern Mississippi)
Sean Mahone, S (West Virginia)
Andrew Mevis, K (Iowa State)
Grant Morgan, LB (Arkansas)
Denzel Okafor, OL (Texas)
Gerrit Prince, TE (Alabama Birmingham)
Marcus Tatum, OL (Central Florida)
Josh Thompson, CB (Texas)
Lujuan Winningham, WR (Central Arkansas)

The most notable name on the list is Kevin Austin. The wideout had a breakout campaign with Notre Dame in 2021, finishing with 48 receptions for 888 yards and seven touchdowns. Standing at 6-2 and 215 pounds, the receiver will compete for a roster spot with fellow UDFA WR Lujuan Winningham, who had 25 touchdowns during his final three seasons at Central Arkansas.

Andrew Mevis went 20-for-23 on field goals last season and made 100 percent of his extra point tries, putting him on the NFL map. He’ll provide some competition in a room that also features Matthew Wright and Ryan Santoso.
