4 things to know about new Jaguars' DT Albert Regis

With their second selection on Day 2, the Jacksonville Jaguars added to the defensive tackle position, selecting Texas A&M's Albert Regis.

Here are four things to know about this addition.

How does Albert Regis fit with the Jaguars?

Regis has been a very good run defender over his career. NFL.com's Lance Zierlein says that he should become a "run-stopping factor as a nose tackle."

The addition of Regis bolsters the Jaguars' already stout run defense rotation in the short-term. Defensive tackle is a position for Jacksonville that was short on depth entering this year's draft.

Beyond this season, he could be a longer-term answer at nose tackle, with DaVon Hamilton in the final year of his deal.

For more on Regis' game from Zierlein, here is what he wrote in his pre-draft scouting report:

"Fifth-year senior with two years as a starter, Regis is built low, with girthy lowers and shorter arms. He’s a leverage monster who can function as a tree stump in the middle of the defense when he’s first in with his hands. He can post and peek as a two-gapper or drop low to fight off double-teams. He plays with good balance and is technically sound in block take-ons/disengagements. His rush is unimpressive and his lack of length will cause issues at times, but he’s tough, strong and consistent. Regis should become a run-stopping factor as a nose tackle."
