The Jacksonville Jaguars ended their season in disappointing fashion. After an 8-3 start, the Jaguars lost five of their final six games and missed out on the playoffs. 

Now, with their offseason journey more than underway with several changes made on the coaching staff, they will have a chance to see some potential difference-makers take the field this week during Senior Bowl practices, and during the Senior Bowl itself this Saturday. 

In need of play-makers on offense, and defensive help in the middle of the field and the secondary, here are three names to circle for the Jaguars to watch during Senior Bowl week. 

WR Malachi Corley, Western Kentucky

Corley nearly went back-to-back with 1,000 yard seasons, falling just 16 yards short of 1,000 yards in 2023. He hauled in 79 passes for 984 yards and 11 touchdowns. This coming after a season that saw him catch 101 balls for nearly 1,300 yards and 11 touchdowns. He's very athletically gifted and a YAC demon. Having him on the receiving end of shallow in-breakers from Trevor Lawrence could add a lot to the Jaguars' offense.

CB Kalen King, Penn State

Jacksonville selected two Nittany Lions in the draft last year, and there will be no shortage of talented Penn State products this year. King is very good in man coverage and isn't afraid to get physical at the line of scrimmage. The Jaguars need help in the secondary, and a cornerback who can set the tone physically and prevent easy completions would be a great direction to go.

LB Michael Barrett, Michigan

The Jaguars need linebackers who can cover- enter Michael Barrett. He has great play recognition and lateral ability to break on passes and force incompletions. He is on the smaller side for linebackers, and his run defense leaves something to be desired, but he could be a late-round selection that would fill a specific need for Jacksonville.
