Jaguars selected Tulane CB Caleb Ransaw with the No. 88 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.
Ransaw (5’11/197) is a rocked-up nickel with a safety’s mentality and a cornerback’s burst. After starting at outside CB for Troy, he transitioned to the “Spur” role in Tulane’s 4-2-5 scheme, thriving near the box and flashing special teams prowess. His 9.75 RAS reflects elite top-end speed (4.33 forty) and explosive traits (40” vert, 10’9” broad), though his twitchy testing doesn’t always translate to on-ball production — just one college INT. Ransaw’s toughness, wrap-up tackling, and slot physicality make him an enforcer against the run, but he can get grabby and lose track of his man in coverage due to delayed anticipation. His ability to play inside, outside, or even rotate to safety boosts his roster value, especially for zone-heavy defenses. He’s not a ballhawk, but he’s a tone-setter with versatile appeal and core special teams upside. Ransaw projects as a nickel/safety hybrid and depth DB with rotational potential.
