Jacksonville Jaguars sign former USC linebacker Hayes Pullard
Cleveland’s Hayes Pullard looks to tackle Tampa Bay’s Rannell Hall during a preseason game in Tampa, Fla., on Aug. 29.
The Jacksonville Jaguars have signed former USC linebacker Hayes Pullard from the Cleveland Browns practice squad.
“Thank you to the @Browns & @RayFarmerGM for making my dream a reality by drafting me. I learned & grew w/you & much love to the #Dawgpound,” Pullard wrote in a tweet on Tuesday.
“Excited and blessed to suit up on Sundays as a Jacksonville Jaguar. Sincere thanks to David Caldwell and the entire @Jaguars organization!”
The Browns selected Pullard in the seventh round of the NFL draft in May, but he did not make the 53-man roster and was signed to the practice squad.
Pullard, who played for five seasons at USC, joins former teammate Marqise Lee with the Jaguars. Lee is in his second season with the organization.
The Jaguars have an open date this week and are set to play the New York Jets on Nov. 8.
