JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- When it comes to the Jacksonville Jaguars' roster, there doesn't expect to be many surprises waiting ahead on Sunday's cut down day. But that doesn't mean there are none. The Jaguars' 53-man roster will be a tough one to crack for any sleeper, simply based on the fact that the Jaguars brought back most of last year's roster while also adding double-digit draft picks, nine of which are eligible for this year's active roster. But there is one name who has continued to make a case for himself: undrafted rookie defensive end Bryan Thomas Jr., who is continuing to become a difficult sleeper to keep off the roster.

"He's played explosively in the games, and I think he's jumped out. His play style, his effort, that's jumped out. And that's what we saw in him watching his tape at South Carolina." Thomas is one of multiple rookie defensive ends on the roster, joining Day 3 picks Wesley Williams and Zach Durfee, along with fellow undrafted rookie defensive end
