The Jaguars selected Virginia Tech RB Bhayshul Tuten in Round 4 of the 2025 NFL Draft. Tuten carried the Virginia Tech offense for two years after transferring from North Carolina A&T. He posted two straight seasons of 1,000+ total yards and 10+ TDs. It’s easy to love his explosion and toughness on film, especially given the number of stacked boxes that he faced. Physically, Tuten is an absolute freak. At the Combine, he proved it with a 4.32 forty time, a 10’10” broad jump, and a 40.5” vertical. He’s also able to bench press 400 pounds. Overall, he tallied an excellent 9.32 Relative Athletic Score at 5’9, 206 pounds. If he can clean up the drops and fumbles, Tuten could supply some explosive plays in the NFL.
The Jags return Travis Etienne and Tank Bigsby, but the selection of Tuten shouldn't go overlooked. The rookie is the only one with ties to new HC Liam Coen and GM James Gladstone.
That said: Tuten probably won't see enough touches to matter early in the season. But he'll certainly be a name to monitor, particularly with Jacksonville's offense on the rise.
Bigsby is signed for two more seasons, while Etienne is only signed through 2025. So it's quite possible Tuten slides into a complementary role by the end of 2026.
