With the offseason here for the Jacksonville Jaguars, let’s take a look back at how GM James Gladstone’s first rookie draft class performed.

Throughout the course of the 2025 season, the Jaguars received contributions from quite a few rookies, whether those players were drafted or undrafted additions.

“As we think back to sort of our priorities heading into the draft and really where we wanted to place our points of emphasis, it’s certainly a clear sign when you wrap up a season and have double-digit rookies take either an offense or defensive snap throughout the course of a season that you can feel good about the experience heading into Year 2,” Gladstone said on Wednesday.

This rookie review will be a two-part series. Up first are those on the offensive side of the football.

WR Travis Hunter

Unfortunately, Hunter’s season ended early due to a knee injury. And that injury occurred just as it looked like he was about to take off on the offensive side of the ball.

In Hunter’s final game against the LA Rams in Week 7, he caught his first touchdown pass and recorded his first 100-yard receiving game. His role moving forward on offense was about to expand.

On the year, Hunter caught 28-of-43 passes for 298 yards with a touchdown. The majority of his snaps came from the slot, but he lined up outside as well.

OL Wyatt Milum

Training camp and the early portion of Milum’s rookie season were derailed due to an injury. By season’s end, Milum played 111 offensive snaps, coming in off the bench when needed.

Milum played both left and right guard and saw some snaps as the sixth offensive lineman on the field. He allowed two pressures and no sacks over 39 pass-blocking snaps, according to PFF.

RB Bhayshul Tuten

With his speed, Tuten added a different element to the Jaguars’ backfield. He, along with LeQuint Allen, shouldered the RB2 role behind Travis Etienne.

Tuten finished the season averaging 4.1 yards per rush on 87 carries with five rushing touchdowns. He caught 10 passes for 79 yards, scoring two more times.

Along with his contributions on offense, Tuten handled kick return duties, averaging 26.7 yards per return on 22 attempts.

OL Jonah Monheim

Monheim was the Jaguars’ backup center as a rookie. This included making two starts and appearing in 11 games. When needed, he provided a steady presence at the center position.

RB LeQuint Allen

As mentioned, Allen helped handle the backup running back duties. He finsihed the season with 24 carries for 97 yards and 11 catches for 63 yards. However, where Allen was often utilized was during obvious passing situations in pass protection. He was also a key special teams contributor across three different phases.
