Scherff spent his final three NFL seasons playing for the Jaguars and lining up at right guard, where he was a steady presence.
Scherff started all 51 regular-season games for the Jaguars over that three-year span. He didn’t surrender a sack in 2024, according to PFF’s metrics, and he was fourth among all guards in pass-blocking efficiency.
Scherff was a free agent this past offseason. New Jaguars’ GM James Gladstone would sign Patrick Mekari and Chuma Edoga as options to fill the void at right guard.
Before joining the Jaguars, Scherff spent seven seasons with Washington. The former fifth overall pick made 140 starts in his 10-year NFL career. He was a five-time Pro Bowler and a one-time All-Pro.

“It’s been something I could never dream of,” says Scherff, via the Iowa Hawkeyes team site. “Sometimes I would tell my wife that she has to pinch me, because I’m playing a kid’s game, and being able to do it as a job is pretty amazing. Now, having kids and being able to see them after games is absolutely wonderful. So I would say it’s a dream come true. And I will be forever grateful to have had that chance.”
