Jarett Dillard Profile

The Jacksonville Jaguars have signed fifth-round pick Jarrett Dillard, the team announced on Friday.

Dillard, 23, was the 144th player drafted overall in April following his collegiate career at Rice University. He set numerous school, conference and NCAA records as he completed his career with 292 receptions for 4,138 yards and 60 touchdowns. His 60 career receiving touchdowns eclipsed the previous NCAA mark of 50 by Troy Edwards. Dillard is the only player in college football history to produce two seasons with 20 or more touchdown catches.

The 5-10, 187-pound Dillard started in 46 of his 49 college games and was the first player in his school’s history to receive all-conference honors three straight seasons. As a senior last year, Dillard scored 20 touchdowns while catching 87 passes for 1,310 yards. A native of San Antonio, Texas, Dillard attended Sam Houston (Tex.) High School where he graduated first in his class and was a member of the National Honor Society.

According to a league source, Dillard signed a four-year deal worth slightly more than $1.94 million. Included in the deal has a signing bonus worth roughly $192,000.

Dillard received notice around the league after posting a vertical jump at the NFL combine of more than 42 inches. Dillard will likely compete for playing time this season as an outside receiver for the Jaguars.
