Jacksonville Jaguars' 2025 UDFA profile: Memphis QB Seth Henigan
In addition to their nine draft picks, the Jacksonville Jaguars signed 22 undrafted rookies as well, following the 2025 NFL draft. Just as we did with each of the nine selections, let's take a closer look at each of the Jaguars' UDFAs. Up next is Memphis quarterback Seth Henigan. Seth Henigan's profile Height: 603 Weight: 215 Age: 22 College profile Breaking down Jacksonville Jaguars UDFA signing Henigan comes to the NFL as an experienced collegiate player. During his four seasons at Memphis, he had nearly 2,100 dropbacks. For his career, Henigan completed 64% of his passes at 7.9 yards per attempt with 104 touchdowns to 31 interceptions. Advertisement In 2024 specifically, he completed 65% of his throws at 7.3 yards per attempt with 25 touchdowns and six interceptions. Henigan also had the 12th-lowest turnover-worthy play rate among quarterbacks, according to PFF, and he had the sixth-highest big-time throw rate as well. Henigan will likely compete with John Wolford for the third quarterback role on the Jaguars' depth chart. Scouting report Lance Zierlein, "Productive four-year starter with a long, wiry build and hands on the small side. Henigan displayed an adequate feel for the offense, but it never really felt like he was taking a scalpel to fairly average defenses. He's not a commanding thrower and lacks arm talent on the move. He has adequate mobility inside the pocket and throws with accuracy to his first option when he's on-platform, but his feet get impatient when getting through progressions. On paper, his accuracy intermediate and deep are below average, but on tape, he simply didn't have receivers who could separate and create better passing windows. The production has been solid and he's worth a look as a potential backup." They said it Liam Coen: "You can definitely see the coach's kid mentality He did a great job of calling the plays and having the command. We weren't just out there calling one play. We were canning plays, two play calls, he was handling all that stuff well. So, time will tell, but definitely a good guy to start off with.'

How UDFA QB Seth Henigan ended up on the Jacksonville Jaguars' radar
How UDFA QB Seth Henigan ended up on the Jacksonville Jaguars' radar UDFA QB Seth Henigan wasn't initially on Liam Coen's radar. So how did he end up with the Jacksonville Jaguars? Memphis quarterback Seth Henigan, who the Jacksonville Jaguars signed as an undrafted rookie, wasn't initially on Liam Coen's radar. However, a text from former NFL head coach and media personality with Barstool Sports, Jon Gruden, changed that. 'I'll be honest, hadn't watched a ton of his tape before we ended up bringing him in," Coen said after Saturday's practice via Big Cat Country. "Once we did, I got to talk to him. Jon Gruden actually hit me up about him. Shot me a text, I think they spent some time together during the offseason." Henigan was featured on 'Gruden's QB Class' earlier this offseason. Henigan is an experienced quarterback, with over 2,000 dropbacks during his four seasons at Memphis. For his career, he has completed 64% of his passes at 7.9 yards per attempt with 104 touchdowns to 31 interceptions. In 2024 specifically, Henigan has the 12th-lowest turnover-worthy play rate among quarterbacks, according to PFF, and he had the sixth-highest big-time throw rate as well. You can definitely see the coach's kid mentality," Coen added. "He did a great job of calling the plays and having the command. We weren't just out there calling one play. We were canning plays, two play calls, he was handling all that stuff well. So, time will tell, but definitely a good guy to start off with.' Henigan will be competing with John Wolford for the third quarterback role on the Jaguars' depth chart, whether that comes on the 53-man or the practice squad, depending on how many quarterbacks Coen wants to keep on the active roster.

Final 2025 NFL Draft Quarterback rankings
Final 2025 NFL Draft Quarterback rankings The NFL Draft is always a fluid process, with a lot of information constantly coming in about the players within the class. Every position requires countless hours of film, combing over testing numbers, looking at work at all-star games and pro days. Through it all, a clearer image of the players within each position group appears. The first position we are discussing in our final rankings is quarterback. This class has two heavy hitters that everyone knows and is split on Cam Ward and Shedeur Sanders. Either one could go in the top three, and no one would bat an eye. Behind them, there is a bunching of players like Jaxson Dart, Quinn Ewers, and Jalen Milroe. After that, there is a handful of players clinging to what they hope is a roster spot that allows them to earn a shot at paying meaningful snaps down the road. Here are our final top 15 quarterbacks ranked for the 2025 NFL Draft. 15) Seth Henigan, Memphis Height: 6-3 / Weight: 215 lbs. / Hand Size: 9" / RAS Score: 7.11 Notable Testing Numbers 4.76 40-yard dash time 9'06" broad jump Player Thoughts Seth Henigan does not have the juice in my opinion, to be an NFL quarterback, even as a backup. He was a fun college quarterback and led Memphis to success post-Mike Norvell, which was a time when the program could easily have sunk. At the most, he brings in a good work ethic and practice squad option. Player Grade: 5.45 (UDFA) 14) Brady Cook, Missouri Height: 6-2 / Weight: 214 lbs. / Hand Size: 9 1/4" / RAS Score: 9.68 Notable Testing Numbers 4.59 40-yard dash time 10'08" broad jump Player Thoughts Brady Cook was injured in 2024 and didn't look like the lively player he was in 2023. The entire Missouri offense took a step back as a result, which makes his projection tough to do. I believe Cook could be a fun camp arm and stick around the NFL in that way as a result. I just fail to see a team drafting him within the seven rounds he will be available. Someone will grab him up quickly post-draft as a UDFA, though. Grade: 5.49 (UDFA) 13) Graham Mertz, Florida Height: 6-3 / Weight: 212 lbs. / Hand Size: 9 3/4" / RAS Score: N/A Notable Testing Numbers None due to injury Player Thoughts Graham Mertz has shown flashes of being an NFL backup, not much beyond that. 2024 was tough for him on several fronts before ultimately tearing his ACL and ending his season and college career. Mertz strikes me as that Colt McCoy type where he improves your quarterback room and is able to serve as an example for others within it. If he has to start in an emergency situation, he will be able to manage things and not turn the ball over. Unfortunately, he won't be the reason a team wins the game if that situation were to arise. Grade: 5.55 (UDFA) 12) Max Brosmer, Minnesota Height: 6-2 / Weight: 217 lbs. / Hand Size: 9 1/2" / RAS Score: N/A Notable Testing Numbers Did not test at the combine Player Thoughts Max Brosmer is a physically gifted quarterback who has the leadership and arm talent to earn a chance within a quarterback room at the next level. He didn't make the leap some folks expected going from New Hampshire to Minnesota, but he showed he has some NFL traits. Look for Brosmer to be on an NFL roster as an emergency quarterback or practice squad stash for someone. Grade: 5.77 (UDFA) 11) Kyle McCord, Syracuse Height: 6-3 / Weight: 218 lbs. / Hand Size: 9 1/2" / RAS Score: N/A Notable Testing Numbers Did not test at the combine Player Thoughts Kyle McCord proved a lot of people wrong in 2024 during g his breakout season at Syracuse. He has a live arm, can make throws downfield, and displayed moments of being able to put good touch on his passes. The downside that flashed at times was when things weren't going his way he struggled to be able to fight his way through it and lift up his team around him. That, of course, could change in the NFL, but I struggle to see him becoming a starter at the next level. Grade: 5.85 (Day Three Pick) 10) Kurtis Rourke, Indiana Height: 6-4 / Weight: 220 lbs. / Hand Size: 9 3/8" / RAS Score: N/A Notable Testing Numbers Did not test at the combine Player Thoughts Kurtis Rourke lifted the entire Indiana football program in 2024 after transferring in from Ohio. Rourke, like McCord, found success with his new team but in a different way. He was the leader and rising tide that lifted all the boats around him on the Indiana offense but they couldn't surpass the good level. Rourke, as an NFL quarterback, could be good, but they struggle to see a team able to get much more juice out of him at this point in the game. Grade: 5.9 (Day Three Pick) 9) Will Howard, Ohio State Height: 6-4 / Weight: 236 lbs. / Hand Size: 9" / RAS Score: 8.76 Notable Testing Numbers 9'04" broad jump Player Thoughts Will Howard has a good arm for teams to work with and makes good decisions to avoid turnovers. The run he took the Buckeyes on to the National Championship cannot and should not be dismissed either. Howard showed he can lead a team back from the ashes, and that is something that NFL teams are going to like when they evaluate him. He will likely earn a chance to play a meaningful role on a team at the next level, and could even turn into a late-season starter in the right situation as a team tries to see what he has. I'm not saying he can make the same type of jump as hi,m but Will Howard reminds me of Brock Purdy in the way he plays and leads. Grade: 6 (Day Three Pick) 8) Dillon Gabriel, Oregon Height: 5-11 / Weight: 205 lbs. / Hand Size: 9 1/4" / RAS Score: N/A Notable Testing Numbers Did not test at the combine Player Thoughts Gabriel is by far the smallest quarterback in this class, and he is behind the eight-ball with the NFL and fans. That being said, though, he has an explosive arm that can push the ball downfield with some surprising pop. I also like Gabriel's decision-making and accuracy, as they are both among the best in the class. The size is going to cause some issues, though, and he won't be a starter anytime soon, but I think he could earn some starts to show what he has at some point in the right situation. Grade: 6.05 (Day Three Pick) 7) Tyler Shough, Louisville Height: 6-5 / Weight: 219 lbs. / Hand Size: 9 3/4" / RAS Score: 9.3 Notable Testing Numbers 4.63 40-yard dash time 9'09" broad jump Player Thoughts Tyler Shough is getting a lot of talk that he is the most underrated quarterback in this class and could even go in the first round. I do not see that at all, but that's the beauty of the NFL Draft: it takes one team for that to happen. I get the appeal with Shough, though, as he has a great arm and physical traits for days, but at his age, he isn't likely to develop much else. I like him a lot as a backup, even a reliable one, in the NFL, but not much more can be envisioned beyond that for me. Grade: 6.07 (Day Three Pick) 6) Riley Leonard, Notre Dame Height: 6-4 / Weight: 216 lbs. / Hand Size: 9 1/2" / RAS Score: N/A Notable Testing Numbers Did not test at the combine Player Thoughts Riley Leonard has clumped himself into a lot of these quarterbacks in terms of expectations as a day-three projection. What separates Leonard for me is his ability to extend plays and make them with his legs if need be. I am a sucker for these types of quarterbacks as they can help cover up deficiencies in the offensive line and also extend drives with scrambling first downs. Grade: 6.1 (Day Three Pick) 5) Jaxson Dart, Ole Miss Height: 6-2 / Weight: 223 lbs. / Hand Size: 9 1/2" / RAS Score: N/A Notable Testing Numbers Did not test at the combine Player Thoughts Another highly polarizing player in this quarterback class is Jaxson Dart, who is also getting first-round hype. What I see on film is a big arm, and big plays, and a lot of those are manufactured as a result of the offense he ran at Ole Miss under Lane Kiffin. The entire Ole Miss offense is something I am down on in terms of their draft potential, in part of the offense they ran, and for Dart, I struggle to see any creativity in him. I just don't see an NFL starter but rather a backup who stays in the league for years because of his arm talent alone, ala Jameis Winston. Grade: 6.15 (Day Three Pick) 4) Quinn Ewers, Texas Height: 6-2 / Weight: 214 lbs. / Hand Size: 9 3/8" / RAS Score: N/A Notable Testing Numbers Did not test at the combine Player Thoughts Quinn Ewers is going to be a low-risk, high-reward option for teams in April. Something was off in 2024, and he played below expectations, which resulted in him not taking the jump that many had hoped for. Despite those hindrances, I believe Quinn Ewers is worth investing in if you are an NFL team. He needs to go somewhere where he can sit behind an established veteran and where he can just develop and grow mentally with the game. He has flashes of brilliance on the field, his two games against Alabama are prime examples, and because of that, I believe he is worth the time. Grade: 6.17 (Day Three Pick) 3) Jalen Milroe, Alabama Height: 6-2 / Weight: 217 lbs. / Hand Size: 9 3/8" / RAS Score: N/A Notable Testing Numbers Did not test at the combine Player Thoughts Not many people believe in Jalen Milroe at this point in his draft process, but I refuse to give up on him. Physical traits? check. Shown he can overcome adversity? Check. Athletic ability to make special plays? Check. Ironically, his biggest issue is his accuracy, which for a quarterback can prove to be vital. I think some small tweets to his footwork and throwing motion would allow him to be a playmaker at the quarterback position with the right play-caller. As a runner, he has shown time and again that he can extend plays and make them go for first downs and more. Sign me up for an investment of Jalen Milroe on my team. Grade: 6.25 (Day Two Pick) 2) Shedeur Sanders, Colorado Height: 6-1 1/2 / Weight: 212 lbs. / Hand Size: 9 3/8" / RAS Score: N/A Notable Testing Numbers Did not test at the combine Player Thoughts Shedeur Sanders is the easiest and toughest evaluation in this entire class. We have seen him play since he was a freshman at Jackson State, and we saw him take a leap when he joined Colorado in the last two years. He has the arm strength to handle any conditions he may face, and he has good accuracy and techniques, but can he be the leader of an NFL team? He has all the talent in the world to be considered a starting NFL quarterback. What we do not know is how he will be able to address and lead a team, but we have seen some ups and downs at Colorado. Someone will take a chance on him, and he will either sink or swim as a result. Grade: 6.55 (Day Two Pick) 1). Cam Ward, Miami (FL) Height: 6-2 / Weight: 219 lbs. / Hand Size: 9" / RAS Score: N/A Notable Testing Numbers Did not test at the combine Player Thoughts Cam Ward has the leadership, arm talent, and play-making ability needed to be a fun NFL quarterback. Ward has some questions regarding playing up to stiffer competition, but no one can argue he isn't a gamer for any situation he is thrown into. His ability to face adversity and rise up when the situation calls for it earns him my QB1 ranking. Unfortunately, despite those positives I listed, they are all good traits, he lacks anything being done at a great or elite level. He is going to be drafted in the top three come April and will have a chance to succeed, I just question what type of quarterback he can be a for a team in terms of being a reason they take the next step in their development. Grade: 6.65 (Day Two Pick)
