The NFL announced when the Jacksonville Jaguars will hold their rookie minicamp.
Following the NFL draft, teams can either hold their rookie minicamp on the weekend of May 1st or May 8th. The Jaguars will hold their minicamp on May 8th, and it will be for three days, running through the 10th.
Rookie minicamp is an opportunity for draft picks and undrafted free agents to begin getting acclimated to the NFL level. There will be tryouts brought in as well.
Practices will take place, but these three days are less about the on-field work and more about beginning to learn the playbook and fundamentals of operating in the offensive and defensive schemes.
Voluntary offseason programs are already underway for the Jaguars’ veterans. That began on Apr. 20th.
Organized team activities (OTAs) are broken up into three phases. Phase I is two weeks long and consists of team meetings and strength and conditioning.
Phase II is the following three weeks, and allows teams to do on-field workouts. Contact and any team periods are not permitted.
Then OTAs conclude with Phase III, which is four weeks long. No contact can take place, but teams can do competitive team periods.
