The Jaguars' latest roster move will create something of a family reunion in Jacksonville.On Monday, the team announced that it had signed tight end Josh Pederson to its 90-man roster. The 25-year-old tight end is the son of Jacksonville's head coach, Doug Pederson.The Jaguars will represent the fifth profe sional team for which the younger Pederson Mike Green Kids Jersey has played. He went undrafted out of Lousiana-Monroe in 2021 and spent time with the 49ers, Saints and Chiefs before landing in the USFL.Pederson played the past two seasons for the Houston Gamblers and emerged as a star pa s-catcher for them. He recorded 25 catches for 325 yards and ranked third in receiving yards among tight ends for the 2023 season, his best with the team.MORE: That performance did enough to rekindle the NFL's interest in Pederson's services. The tight end explained on that he found this out quickly thanks to a me sage from his father."Right at the end of the season, he had texted me and said, 'I think Robert Mastrosimone Women Jersey we're gonna sign you,'" the younger Pederson detailed. "That's all he said. I texted back and said, 'Who's we?' He said, 'Me and the Jaguars.' And of course, I flipped out. I called him right away and I didn't believe it at all. And then he said, 'Yeah, we thought you had a good season.' And he talked to the GM and owner with the Jags and they were all on board. And here we are.""I got to break the news to my mom and my brother. That was pretty cool. She flipped out." Josh Pederson is back in the joining his Dad with the . Great stuff from the former star. We will have more tomorrow Aaron Dietrich (@AaronsAces) Of course, Pederson had some initial concerns about joining the Jaguars. Most notably, he didn't want his chance with the Jaguars to be viewed as "a handout" given to him because his father was the team's coach.Luckily, Pederson explained that his agent was able to "talk him off a cliff" and take the offer. My agent reminded me that Antti Tuomisto Jersey I had been on three credible teams with three credible head coaches. And now, with my production in the USFL, I belong here. It took another outside to explain that to me. I really believe it and I'm so excited to be here.Still, Pederson is wary of absorbing too much attention for anything other than his on-field performance."I'm hoping to fly under the radar. We'll see how it goes," he said, before adding, "I asked NHL Detroit Red Wings Women Jersey my dad if I could change the 'D' in our last name to 'T' just to kinda throw people off."The Jaguars saw what it was like for a depth tight end to dominate the spotlight when the team then led by Urban Meyer signed Tim Tebow during the 2021 offseason. Suffice to say that while Pederson's name is notable, this won't be anything close to a repeat of that situation, especially since he actually has experience playing the position, unlike Tebow.MORE: Of course, Pederson may face a similarly tough task in making the Jaguars' 53-man roster. The team has veteran Evan Engram Tyler Bertuzzi Kids Jersey and second-round rookie Brenton Strange entrenched as its top two options at the position, so Pederson will be among the four other tight ends jockeying for position on the depth chart.The Jaguars kept four tight ends on the roster in 2023. So, it seems likely that only two of Pederson, Luke Farrell, Sammis Reyes and Gerrit Prince will be on the team once roster cuts are finalized.
