The Jacksonville Jaguars have officially signed their first player from their 2018 NFL Draft class — punter Logan Cooke out of Mississippi State.
Cooke averaged 41.7 yards per punt in his career and 42.7 yards per punt as a senior. In addition to punting, Cooke also kicked off and kicked field goals for Mississippi State.
“It actually hits you that you’re signing an NFL contract,” Cooke said shortly after signing, according to John Oehser. “When you’re going over all of the things inside the contract it’s actually pretty neat to realize you’re actually doing it.
