Who have the Jacksonville Jaguars met with at the 2025 NFL Combine?
Beyond the on-field work and the medicals that take place over the course of the week, the Combine presents a great opportunity for teams to meet one-on-one with players providing them an opportunity to get to know them briefly and dive into some football questions.
To a degree, all of these meetings should be taken with some grain of salt. Teams will meet with dozens of prospects throughout the week and this is just one small part of the entire evaluation process. But with that said, these meetings aren't nothing either and are at least noteworthy.

WVU football recruit SirPaul Cheeks already well known
MORGANTOWN — There are a couple of names in college football that are memorable not for their performance, but just for their name alone. Some make the fan-made all-name teams, and West Virginia could have one of their own coming to Morgantown soon. A week ago, West Virginia received a commitment from 2026 running back SirPaul Cheeks, from Chesterfield, Va. Some say Cheek's name sounds like a name from the Key and Peele East/West College Bowl skit, but it's not. Cheeks is the newest addition to the 2026 class. Cheeks isn't the only name tagged to the new back. The running back also goes by the nickname 'Jesus in Cleats,' which is high praise for the high schooler. According to his X account, Cheeks runs a 4.37 40-yard dash, ranking 11th in this year's NFL Combine and second among running backs, so he is fast. Cheeks' name and nickname have already caught national attention. A couple of days after his commitment, ESPN and former WVU player Pat McAfee introduced Cheeks to College GameDay co-host Kirk Herbstreit, during McAfee's show. 'SirPaul Cheeks,' McAfee said. 'You are going to learn today, Kirk. West Virginia got a commitment from SirPaul Cheeks. Jesus in cleats.' 'Where is he from?' Herbstreit asked. 'He's from f——- football god,' McAfee replied. Experts don't think the same of Cheeks, and he doesn't have the highest rating. Cheeks is a composite three-star prospect and ranked as the 54th-best running back in the 2026 class. Cheeks is the 24th-ranked player in Virginia. Cheeks has promising stats from last year to back up his nickname, though. His junior year, Cheeks had 1,495 all-purpose yards, 18 touchdowns, three pick-6s, 900 rushing yards on 38 carries and 265 receiving yards. Kentucky, Buffalo, Appalachian State and Ball State liked what they saw and offered him, too. He can do it all on both sides of the ball but will play running back in college. Rich Rodriguez said earlier this spring that two-way players might be more present in college football, with the shrunken rosters, so it's not out of the question that he plays more than just running back. 'You still may need to have a few guys that maybe can go both ways,' Rodriguez said. 'I think you'll see a little more of that. I know Travis Hunter did it at Colorado.' Cheeks could be the future of Rodriguez's offense. Rodriguez's offense is run-heavy and tempo, so a running back that can do it all should have success. However, Cheeks is on the smaller side at 5-foot-9, but he has some time to put on some size since he's just a high schooler. Rodriguez's starting running back this year, Jahiem White, is only 5-foot-7 and 192 pounds, so Cheeks shouldn't have an issue. Cheeks will have to compete for the starting role one day. In just his class alone, there are two other running backs, fellow 3-star prospects Christopher Talley, who's also 5-foot-9, and Jett Walker. Cheeks is ranked higher than those two, and rated as the fourth-best player in WVU's 2026 class, which consists of 25 pledges. It'll be interesting to see how Cheeks pans out and if he stays committed to WVU. There will be WVU fans pulling for him just because of his name alone. 'All I can tell you is if Rich Rod recruited him, he's a great player,' Herbstreit said. 'There's a new era in Morgantown, and I am officially on the bandwagon.'

Jacksonville Jaguars' CB Jourdan Lewis shares early impressions of Travis Hunter
Jaguars' CB Jourdan Lewis recently shared what he's seen from Travis Hunter this offseason. On a recent appearance on CBS Sports HQ, Jacksonville Jaguars' cornerback Jourdan Lewis shared what it is about Travis Hunter that makes him a special player. "His confidence, Lewis said. "He believes in himself and his abilities, which are really immense. He's a really talented football player, and he can do it on both sides of the football. He's really cerebral; he knows how to sit in zones, he knows how to play zones, read the quarterback's eyes, and things like that. His ball skills are off the charts." Those ball skills that Lewis mentioned were on full display during Hunter's Heisman season at Colorado in 2024. As a cornerback, he was targeted just 41 times, but still managed to come away with four interceptions and seven pass breakups, according to PFF. Up to this point, we haven't seen a lot of Hunter on defense just yet. While he's been in meetings and learning that playbook, the majority of his practice time has come at wide receiver. As GM James Gladstone put it, the team views cornerback as Hunter's more natural position. However, in the near future, we are going to see more of Hunter at cornerback as the Jaguars continue to work towards having him play both sides of the ball during the same practice regularly. As defensive coordinator Anthony Campanile described after Thursday's practice, Liam Coen has put together a very detailed plan for Hunter. "He's a complete football player," Lewis added. "So it's just learning the nuances of the NFL, which he's going to pick up and he's picking up already. I've been really impressed with how poised he's been and how he fits in the scheme of things on the team."

Buccaneers training camp notebook, Day 2: All units play with confidence
The Bucs roster has reported to Tampa Bay, and as a result, they have started their journey into the 2025 season. It starts at home in Tampa Bay, but they hope it ends on the road in Santa Clara, where they have a chance to raise the Lombardi Trophy for the second time in five years. Todd Bowles and Jason Licht have returned, both with contract extensions. Liam Coen is no longer part of the coaching staff, having left to lead the Jacksonville Jaguars. In his place is Josh Grizzard, who has been promoted from passing game coordinator to offensive coordinator. All in all, the coaching staff remains essentially unchanged, just as the roster does, which means there is some continuity. The second day of training camp has wrapped, though, for the team, and there is a lot to break down. We did our best to decide what was worth sharing and discussing, as a lot happened, we narrowed it down to three key points. Of course, we rounded up some quick hitters as well for your enjoyment. Rookies standout on both sides of the ball The biggest rookies in the Bucs' 2025 NFL Draft class are wide receiver Emeka Egbuka and cornerback Benjamin Morrison. Both came into camps with questions, albeit different types, that they had to answer for both the coaches and fans during training camp. In two days, things are already looking up for the pair, and they may end up being the best one-two punch of the class, regardless of team. Emeka Egbuke stole the show with a nice catch in the back of the endzone, where he showcased body control and awareness. He is going to work his way very nicely into the good graces of Baker Mayfield while Chris Godwin Jr. is rehabbing his ankle injury. Look for him to get peppered with targets throughout camp and the preseason. On the other side of the ball, Benjamin Morrison finally made his debut with the Bucs after missing OTAs and minicamp due to his rehab from a hip injury. Questions around his hip caused him to fall down the NFL Draft, and he made it to the Bucs in round two. If he had been healthy, he would have been a top ten pick most likely. Now, healthy and playing for the Bucs, Morrison showcased himself in man and zone coverage assignments on Thursday and impressed during both. Charlie Heck has the full support of the offense Keeping your franchise quarterback safe is a team's most important priority. In the case of the Buccaneers, they will be without their franchise tackle, Tristan Wirfs, for an undetermined amount of time. In his place, the team has backup Charlie Heck, who signed with the team this offseason, set to start. Todd Bowles hinted at the Bucs perhaps adding to their tackle group during his media session today, but nothing seems imminent. They did have former Seahawks tackle George Fant in for a workout, but no deal was made at the time. For the time being, though, Baker Mayfield is behind his new blindside protector, telling the media, ". . .We trust Charlie [Heck]. He's here for a reason, so still trying to instill a faith in him that he's more than capable of doing his job at the left tackle spot. . ." Haason Reddick has backup on the team Haason Reddick arrived in Tampa Bay with a certain amount of baggage following him from his 2024 season with the New York Jets and Philadelphia Eagles. He held out all offseason for a new contract and it led to him being traded and then playing like a shell of his former All-Pro self. Now, in Tampa Bay with a one-year prove-it deal signed, Reddick is ready to start over, and his teammates are taking notice. Baker Mayfield talked about the new Bucs edge rusher during his media session when he was asked how he was fitting in. Mayfield explained, "I think he fits right in as a guy. People wanted to put some labels on him for whatever happened in the past. He's extremely hungry, got a little chip on his shoulder. I think this building as a whole appreciates that. We understand what type of talent we are getting out of him. The veteran leadership he brings as well, just adds on to that." Getting the seal of approval from your team's veteran leader is always a help. During minicamp, when Reddick arrived, the former Temple Owl shared he was working with fellow edge Yaya Diaby, and they were working in tandem on edge moves and making each other better. It is early, but all signs are pointing to Reddick fitting right in with the pewter. Quick hitters
