Jaguars Target Georgia DT Christen Miller in Draft

The Jaguars hope to add depth and pass‑rush power to their interior line by targeting Georgia defensive tackle Christen Miller in the 2026 draft.

The Jacksonville Jaguars are eyeing Georgia defensive tackle Christen Miller as their best‑case draft pick to bolster a unit that led the NFL in run defense last season but lacked pass‑rush consistency. Miller, 6‑ft‑4 and 310 lbs, posted a 90.2 PFF run‑defense grade in 2025 and an 11.3 pass‑rush win rate from the interior, making him a top interior option. Though he may slip to the later part of the first round, the Jaguars would benefit from his run‑stopping and pass‑rushing skills.

Miller has played over 1,000 defensive snaps in the past three seasons, consistently ranking among the top run‑defenders at his position. While he lacks the bulk of a traditional space‑eater, his ability to shed blocks and generate early pressure could address the Jaguars’ need for a more steady pass‑rush presence.
