The Jaguars are still sorting through their 90-man roster, and one of the more intriguing names in the mix is offensive lineman Wyatt Milum, No. 64.
Milum arrived in Jacksonville as a third-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, and his rookie year gave the team a glimpse of what he can bring when he’s on the field.
A knee injury slowed him early and kept him out for the first month of the season, pushing his debut all the way to Week 6. Once he got back, the snaps never piled up in big numbers, but the performance was there. Milum stood out as a strong run blocker and gave up only two pressures with no sacks across 39 pass-blocking snaps.
Now the question turns to 2026, where the right guard job looks open enough for a real battle. Veteran Patrick Mekari has the edge on experience, which matters, but the competition is far from settled.
Mekari also dealt with injuries last season, and his play did not quite match Milum’s. Both players are healthy this offseason, and that sets up a legitimate summer fight for the spot.
Milum still looks like the long-term answer at the position, but Mekari is the likelier Week 1 starter. Even so, Milum has a clear path to push for snaps, and there’s a real chance Mekari isn’t holding the job by season’s end.
Beyond right guard, Milum’s versatility gives Jacksonville another reason to keep him in the conversation. He can step in at multiple spots if needed, which only adds to his value as camp approaches.

Jaguars Camp Could Settle One Uncomfortable QB Question Fast
Training camp is about to put every Jaguars position group under a microscope, and the quarterback room should be one of the first places where the competition gets sorted out. Trevor Lawrence is firmly at the top, Nick Mullens is expected to stay in the backup role because of his experience, and the real pressure point sits further down the depth chart, where Carter Bradley has to show he belongs in the mix.
Bradley already gave the Jaguars a reason to notice him last season, when his work running the scout team offense drew praise from Anthony Campanile. Now he is trying to turn that kind of behind-the-scenes value into something more permanent, while a rookie with a different kind of appeal is waiting for his chance to make the decision harder than it looks on paper.

Jaguars Safety Picture Looks Nearly Set But One Camp Battle Still Lingers
The safety group in Jacksonville looks close to settled as training camp approaches, with Eric Murray and Antonio Johnson projected to open as the starters. Behind them, the roster picture points toward a fairly clear pecking order, and the Jaguars appear positioned to carry five safeties on the 53-man roster if things stay on script.
Caleb Ransaw, Jalen Huskey and Rayuan Lane look like the main depth pieces in that mix, giving the Jaguars some continuity at a spot that usually sorts itself out quickly once camp gets rolling. The one wrinkle is whether anyone from the back end can force the team to think bigger, because keeping an extra safety would require a real rise from someone lower on the chart. [Read more 🡒]
