Another member of the Jacksonville Jaguars’ 2024 offensive line is hanging up his cleats after a decorated NFL career
Brandon Scherff has retired from the NFL.
Offensive guard Brandon Scherff, who spent the past three seasons with the Jacksonville Jaguars, has retired from the NFL after a 10-year career.
Scherff started all 17 games in all three seasons that he played for the Jaguars. He also started in both of Jacksonville’s playoff matchups in 2022, and did not surrender a single sack in 2024. Scherff is now the second member of the Jags’ 2024 offensive line to retire, following center Mitch Morse, who hung up his cleats back in March.
Scherff had this to say to Iowa Buckeyes writer John Bohnenkamp ahead of his induction to into the Iowa Athletics Hall of Fame:
“It’s been something I could never dream of,” Scherff said. “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.”
Scherff was great during his time in Jacksonville, but his best years came with the team that drafted him — the Commanders. Selected by Washington with the fifth overall pick in the 2015 NFL Draft, Scherff spent the first seven years of his career with the franchise. During that time he was selected to the Pro Bowl five times and was named a Fist-Team All-Pro in 2020.
Scherff hit free agency at the conclusion of the 2024 season, but decided to be done with football despite drawing interest from several teams around the league. He was a powerhouse at 6-foot-5 and 315 pounds, and had a decorated collegiate career at Iowa. Scherff carried that momentum into the NFL as he was named to the PFWA All-Rookie Team in ’15.
