Undrafted Rookie Shines as Jaguars Struggle to Find QB Depth

In their final preseason game before the 2025 NFL season, the Jacksonville Jaguars rested their starters, giving their second-team defense a chance to test their mettle against the Miami Dolphins' first-team offense. Surprisingly, the Jaguars' backups held their own, eliciting excitement from Jaguars fans and dismay from the Dolphins faithful.

One of the standout performers for Jacksonville was undrafted rookie B.J. Green II, who has been one of the most impressive defenders throughout the preseason, not just for the Jaguars but across the league. His continued strong play has gained him the respect of fans heading into the regular season.

However, the Jaguars' backup quarterback situation remains a concern. With the Dolphins leading 14-8 in the final minutes, Seth Henigan had the opportunity to lead a game-tying drive, but instead threw an interception. This performance, along with that of John Wolford, has dampened confidence that Jacksonville could tread water if anything happens to starting quarterback Trevor Lawrence.
