ANALYSIS
Abdullah is working to earn a role in Jacksonville's linebacker corps after being selected by the team in the fifth round of the 2023 Draft.

Lands in Duval
The Jaguars selected Abdullah in the fifth round of the 2023 NFL Draft, 136th overall.
ANALYSIS
While Abdullah might not be a standout pass rusher, nor an obvious coverage linebacker, the fact he displayed both traits at Louisville is certainly promising, especially for a Jaguars defense that can use tweener athletes along the front seven. Expect the 23-year-old to factor in the team's rotational depth immediately.
