JACKSONVILLE, FL -- The Jacksonville Jaguars signed rookie defensive end Yannick Ngakoue on Tuesday.
"It feels great," Ngakoue said. "It's a dream come true. I'm just ready to make plays for my team. … It's a great time for me and my family."
Ngakoue (6-2, 252 lbs) was selected by the Jaguars in the third round of the 2016 NFL Draft.
"It's crazy," Ngakoue said. "I was always underrated my whole life, so this is just a blessing to be able to sign that piece of paper and be an official Jaguar, to be part of this great organization and to be part of this brotherhood of the NFL. It's something I can tell my kids and grandkids years from now and they can use it for motivation as well."
Ngakoue registered 88 tackles and 33 tackles for loss in three collegiate seasons at Maryland, a total that included 21.5 sacks.
