NFL football is a brutal business. Sometimes more so than others.
But he is Doug's son. And now he's looking for a new gig, thanks to his dad's decision. Tough break.
Josh, 25, has never played an NFL snap. He played four years of tight end for Louisiana-Monroe and went undrafted in 2020. He joined the Houston Rattlers of the revamped USFL in the league's second season this spring before getting his shot with his dad's Jaguars in the summer. Evan Engram, Luke Farrell, Brenton Strange and Leonard Tyrell all stood ahead of Pederson on the depth chart. In three preseason games, Pederson recorded zero catches and one bad snap when called upon for emergency long-snapping duty on a punt.
