The Jacksonville Jaguars will have a wide array of options at No. 5 in the 2025 NFL Draft. It's still uncertain who will be the pick, but Mason Graham appears to be the favorite to get the nod. If the Jags are still undecided on whether they should choose the former Michigan Wolverine, a recent clip could help them make a decision.
Personal trainer Brandon Johnson uploaded a clip of him training with Graham. This isn't particularly shocking when you take into account that he's routinely worked with NFL players on honing their skills. What stood out about the post was that the 2023 Second-Team All-American was wearing a shirt with the Jaguars logo on it.
Johnson has since deleted the post, but several Twitter users caught wind of the clip and either saved it or took screenshots where you can see the Jaguars logo on Graham's apparel.

And if you think that may not be a Jaguars logo, here's the shirt Graham is wearing. The patterns and colors match. You be the judge.

In case you're wondering, Graham is from Mission Viejo, California, so it's unlikely that he's a Jags fan. What's more likely is that he's heard from his agent that Jacksonville is interested in him, and he's already warming up to the idea of having his name called at No. 5. There's no proof of it, but it sure does explain it.
Mason Graham may be the safest pick for the Jaguars
Running back Ashton Jeanty, pass rusher Jalon Walker and even tight end Tyler Warren have been mocked to Jacksonville Jaguars in recent weeks, but it looks like Mason Graham as a better chance of getting the nod at No. 5, especially if Travis Hunter is gone and the New England Patriots select their preferred O-Line target one pick earlier.
You could make the case that the Jags are set at defensive tackle with Maason Smith and DaVon Hamilton in the fold. Moreover, Arik Armstead is switching back inside after mostly lining up on the edge last season. Having said that, Hamilton has been underwhelming the past two seasons, and there's no guarantee Armstead will once again play during his hayday with the San Francisco 49ers.
Meanwhile, Graham's speed and power routinely showed on tape. The fact that he lacks ideal arm length but still managed to wreak havoc at Michigan should be seen as a strength, not a weakness.
In Jacksonville, Graham would round out the interior rotation and eventually get a featured role to Smith. When you take into account that the Jags don't have a clear need outside maybe cornerback, taking Graham at No. 5 makes sense. The one thing that could deter them from drafting him is that this is going to be a deep defensive tackle class, so they could afford to wait until Day 2 to address the position and still come out with a game-changer.
The truth is that it's hard to tell just how interested the Jaguars are in Mason Graham, but wearing a shirt with their logo on it probably won't hurt his case.
