Washington offensive lineman Carver Willis is a 2026 NFL draft prospect who seems to be on the Jacksonville Jaguars’ radar.

In an interview with Justin Melo of Sports Illustrated, Willis said that he met with the Jaguars at the NFL combine.

Willis is listed at 6-5 and weighs 291 pounds. He’s played 1,870 snaps in his career, with the bulk of that playing time coming over the last three seasons.

He’s played tackle positions in college, but some NFL teams view him as a prospect who could line up at all five positions if needed. Under James Gladstone and Liam Coen, the Jaguars very much covet versatility on the offensive line.

“Some teams think I’m capable of backing up all five positions. Some teams see me as a center,” Carver told Willis. “Others see me as a guard. It’s been fun and unique to hear all of the different perspectives and thought processes.”

During the 2025 season, Willis allowed two sacks and 22 pressures, according to Pro Football Focus, while playing mostly left tackle. He ranked 101st among tackles in pass-blocking efficiency but was sixth overall in run-blocking grade.

Willis’ play in the run game also likely has Jacksonville’s attention.

For more on Willis, Lance Zierlein of NFL.com had this to say in his pre-draft scouting report:

“Willis’ run-blocking tape is impressive,” Zierlein wrote. “He’s quick out of his stance, gets into run fits with good pop/aggression and is a consistent block finisher. However, he lacks the length and anchor associated with pro tackles. He also doesn’t have the broad frame and core strength of a guard. His pass protection can be spotty due to oversets and the aforementioned anchor issue, but he has the quickness/grip strength to compete. Willis can fit as a zone-scheme guard and could be considered as a swing tackle who might need protection help.”

The Jaguars are positioned well on the offensive line. Their starting five from last season is all still under contract, along with a few of their first options off the bench.

However, during last year’s training camp, the Jaguars stressed competition along the offensive line. There’s no reason to think they won’t take that same approach again this year.
