The veteran cornerback will enter 2024 as a starter.
The Jacksonville Jaguars entered last month's NFL Draft with two looming needs: cornerback and wide receiver.
This ultimately should not have been a huge shock, but the Jaguars did pass on their pick of the cornerback class at No, 17 before trading down. And when they selected Thomas, they picked him over Alabama cornerback Terrion Arnold, who was the most frequently mocked player to the Jaguars throughout the draft process.
“Well, it plays a lot of flexibility. He's a starting NFL corner, and he's a starting NFL corner from a good program. He has he can still run, he's still a talented guy and he's a pro in every aspect," Jaguars assistant general manager Ethan Waugh said on Friday. "So having him means that we don't have to take a corner that has to start day one. It's certainly somebody that we can throw in the mix and make a competition and whoever wins, wins.
Darby signed a two-year deal with the Jaguars after spending 2023 with the Baltimore Ravens, starting seven games and appearing in 16 while also starting in two playoff games. Darby finished the season with 28 tackles, one tackle for loss, and seven pass breakups.
