Though Southern Miss’s two NFL Draft prospects were not selected in this year’s draft, wide receiver Tim Jones recently signed with the Jacksonville Jaguars as an undrafted free agent.
According to NFL reporter Aaron Wilson, the Jaguars signed Jones after the NFL Draft ended. Said contract reportedly guarantees Jones $165,000, and included a $15,000 signing bonus.
With this, Jones joins one of the most up-and-coming teams in the league. Newly hired Head Coach Urban Meyer’s squad includes the Draft’s number one overall pick, quarterback Trevor Lawrence from Clemson, and the combo could prove to be electrifying. Jones will also provide depth to the Jaguars’s deep receiver corps, which also includes DJ Chark Jr.
