Danny Striggow went from a Senior Bowl afterthought to a five-year Minnesota starter who parlayed a late invite into an NFL roster spot.
Danny Striggow spent five seasons developing into a steady pass rusher for Minnesota before going undrafted in 2025 and signing with the Jaguars. Never invited to the scouting combine, he forced his way into the conversation with a strong finish at the Senior Bowl and has since carved out a role on Jacksonville's defensive line.
Path to the league
Striggow played defensive end at Minnesota from 2020 to 2024, growing from a bit contributor into a full-time starter. He posted back-to-back productive seasons in 2023 and 2024, combining for 103 tackles and 11 sacks, and earned All-Big Ten honorable mention recognition three straight years despite never receiving a combine invite.
Career highlights
His 11 sacks over his final two collegiate seasons, along with a late invitation to the Reese's Senior Bowl, helped get him on NFL radars. He went undrafted in 2025 but signed with the Jacksonville Jaguars as a free agent.
2025 season recap
Striggow made Jacksonville's roster as a rookie and appeared in games at defensive end, finishing the season with 16 tackles, half a sack and a fumble recovery while wearing No. 92.
