Jonathan Woodard of Central Arkansas Is Selected By The Jaguars With The #226 Pick Of The 2016 NFL Draft

A star from the Southland Conference, Jonathan Woodard could make Jacksonville even richer on defense.

Representing the FCS yet again, Jonathan Woodard of Central Arkansas is headed to the NFL as a seventh round pick of the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Woodard has one of the biggest wingspans of anyone in the 2016 Draft at 6-6, 271 pounds. He was incredibly productive at getting to the quarterback with multiple All-Southland honors throughout his career.

The Brentwood, Tennessee native is a fierce player that jumps off the film when watching Central Arkansas play. He was a man among boys at times during his career.
