JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Rookie minicamp kicks off Friday with some of the Jaguar’s newest faces getting together for the first time.
That includes the number one overall draft pick – Travon Walker.
Five of the Jaguars’ seven draft picks signed their rookie contracts on Thursday — so the ink is basically still drying today.
Travon Walker signed for four years and a little more than $37 million.
All rookie contracts are four-year deals and the Jaguars have a team option for the fifth.

The Jaguars wrap up the regular season at home on Jan. 8 when they host the Tennessee Titans.
As the rookies get ready to show up here for the first day of minicamp, first-year players are not required to be under contract to participate in the rookie mini-camp or other off-season practices. However, the must have deals signed in order to participate in training camp.
