2024 NFL Draft Player Profile: Jer’Zhan Newton, DT, Illinois

The 2024 NFL Draft is just a couple of months away so it’s time to start zeroing in on who could be a possible target for the Jacksonville Jaguars with the 17th overall pick.

We began our 2024 NFL Draft player profiles series with Jackson Powers-Johnson last week, and now we shift our focus to the other side of the ball with a full breakdown of Illinois defensive tackle, Jer’Zhan Newton.

Largely considered the top defensive tackle prospect of this year’s crop, Newton fits the same type of mold as Ed Oliver and Grady Jarrett.
