Top five undrafted free agents in Jacksonville Jaguars history

The NFL draft has always been a highly anticipated event, generating a great deal of hype and excitement, especially for prospects who are about to go pro. It provides an opportunity for teams to strengthen their rosters by selecting talented players who have the potential to help them win games.
The Jacksonville Jaguars, like all teams in the NFL, are always on the lookout for promising players, aiming to find a few diamonds in the rough who can elevate their team's performance.

With that in mind, here are five players who, at one point or another, have made a significant impact for the Jaguars as undrafted free agents:

No. 5 best undrafted free agent in Jaguars history: Corey Grant, RB

Running back Corey Grant was known among Jacksonville Jaguars fans as a splash player, someone who could provide a spark and make a significant impact on the field. During the years 2015 to 2018, when Grant played for the team, the Jags lacked big, impactful wide receivers, making his contributions even more valuable.

Grant's versatility allowed fans to see him in various situations, whether it was catching a swing pass out of the backfield, returning kicks, or carrying the ball. Whenever he stepped onto the field, there was always a sense of excitement and anticipation, as he had the potential to ignite an otherwise stagnant offense. His speed and elusiveness made him a threat to break off big plays and change the momentum of the game.

The Jaguars moved on from longtime star running back, Maurice Jones-Drew in 2014, leaving a void in the backfield. That year, the team had a rotation of running backs, including Toby Gerhart, T.J. Yeldon, Chris Ivory, and eventually Leonard Fournette. Grant joined Jacksonville the following year, and with his unique skill set, stood out as a dynamic playmaker who could contribute in various ways.

The transition from head coach Gus Bradley to Doug Marrone brought some challenges and adjustments for the team. Unfortunately, Grant's potential to be more impactful was hindered by limited opportunities. Despite showing flashes of his talent and potential, he wasn't consistently given the chance to fully showcase his abilities.

Tragically, Grant's career was cut short after suffering a Lisfranc injury. This injury forced him to miss significant playing time and hindered his chances of reaching his full potential as a player. Following his four-year stint with the Jaguars, Grant attempted to latch onto the Green Bay Packers roster, hoping to revive his career but he ultimately didn't make the cut.

While Corey Grant's time with the Jaguars may have been relatively short-lived, his ability to provide a spark and create excitement whenever he stepped onto the field left a lasting impression on the fans. He was a player who possessed the potential to make a more substantial impact, given the opportunity, but unfortunately, injuries hindered his progress.

Nonetheless, his contributions and the excitement he brought to the game will be remembered by Jaguars fans.
