Josh Cameron was drafted No. 191 overall by the Jacksonville Jaguars on the final day of the NFL Draft, turning a strong Baylor career into a pro opportunity. The receiver, who also moonlighted as a punt returner in college, gave the Bears a steady outside target before hearing his name called late in the draft.
Cameron finished the 2025 season with 872 yards on 69 catches and nine touchdowns, numbers that made him Baylor’s headliner as the program tried to replace all four of its top receivers from the previous season. He also earned a Senior Bowl invitation after the year and made the most of it with an explosive sideline catch, beating his man on a go route and showing the burst that helped raise his stock.
Dane Brugler described Cameron as a big-bodied target and a physical presence on the outside, noting above-average ball skills, an adequate NFL-level athlete and strong tracking ability at every level of the field. Brugler also pointed to a 1.4 percent drop rate and said Cameron tramples defensive backs after the catch, a profile that fits the way he produced for Baylor.
The Jaguars are betting on a receiver who arrived in the draft with a clear résumé and a defined style. Baylor was also in the middle of breaking in a new quarterback in DJ Lagway, which made Cameron’s role even more important as the Bears leaned on him to stabilize the offense. Now the question is not whether Cameron can make plays. It is how quickly Jacksonville can turn a late-round pick with proven production into a reliable target at the next level.
