INDIANAPOLIS — Matt Overton is staying in the AFC South Division in 2017, though his new home will feature a much different climate.
The long snapper on Thursday signed with the Jacksonville Jaguars, the team announced.
The Jaguars had a major need at the position after fifth-year long snapper Carson Tinker suffered a season-ending ACL tear during practice on Wednesday. Tinker has since been placed on the team’s Injured Reserve list.
Overton has carved out a very unique path to the National Football League through his play with the Indianapolis Colts.
