Myles Jack, Jaguars Agree to Contract: Latest Details, Comments and Reaction

After making Myles Jack the 36th overall pick in the 2016 NFL draft, the Jacksonville Jaguars have signed their new linebacker to a contract.

The Jaguars announced that they have signed Jack to a four-year rookie deal on Friday. Salary figures of the contract have not been disclosed as of yet.

While Jack should be well compensated by the Jaguars, the former UCLA star unquestionably lost a lot of money on his first contract by sliding to the early second round. Bleacher Report draft expert Matt Miller projected the UCLA product to go No. 8 overall to the Cleveland Browns in his final predraft mock.

For perspective, Spotrac estimated the total value of the eighth overall pick at $15.9 million with a $9.76 million signing bonus.

Jack didn't expect to be available after the draft's first day and described his experience of waiting in the green room during an appearance on The Rich Eisen Show (via NFL.com's Chase Goodbread).

"It was, honestly, humiliating," Jack told Eisen. "It was embarrassing having to sit there, and afterwards walking out, having my girl to my left, my mom to my right, my grandmother to the right of her and having to look at them, it was a tough feeling. It wasn't a good night, truthfully."

Jack seemed to be his own worst enemy before the draft, telling Bart Hubbuch of the New York Post that he may eventually need microfracture surgery on the knee that was operated on last September and caused him to miss most of 2015.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reported that Dr. James Andrews told Jack on April 29 that he does not need microfracture surgery, so the 20-year-old can simply focus on getting his career started.

The good news for Jack is he has a chance to make up any potential money lost sooner than if a team had taken him at the end of the first round. Deals for rookies picked after the first round don't include fifth-year options, meaning he can become a free agent in four years.

Regarded as one of the best pure talents in the 2016 draft, Jack is motivated to prove his doubters wrong—as evidenced by his comments to Eisen—and will be ready to help the Jaguars take the leap from perennial laughingstock to legitimate contender.
