Jaguars Hire James Gladstone as NFL’s Youngest General Manager
The Jacksonville Jaguars have made a bold move, officially hiring James Gladstone as their new general manager. At just 34 years old, Gladstone becomes the youngest GM in the NFL, bringing fresh energy and a modern approach to Jacksonville’s front office. This announcement comes as the Jaguars undergo a significant leadership transformation, following a tough 2024 season that ended with a disappointing 4-13 record.
Gladstone’s journey to this moment has been impressive. He spent nearly a decade with the Los Angeles Rams, working his way up from a senior assistant role in 2016 to becoming the team’s director of scouting. Over the years, he played a key part in shaping the Rams’ draft and scouting strategy, helping the team find hidden gems in the later rounds of the draft. His expertise in blending analytics with traditional scouting methods played a major role in the Rams’ ability to remain competitive, even without first-round draft picks.

Jaguars owner Shad Khan expressed full confidence in Gladstone’s ability to lead the team into a new era. Khan described him as “exceptional in every regard” and praised his vision, communication, and deep understanding of the league. It’s clear that Jacksonville sees Gladstone as the right person to rebuild the franchise and maximize its potential heading into the 2025 season.
This hire is just one piece of Jacksonville’s offseason overhaul. The team recently brought in Liam Coen as head coach and NFL Hall of Famer Tony Boselli as the executive vice president of football operations. With these changes in leadership, the Jaguars are aiming for a complete turnaround, and Gladstone will play a crucial role in shaping the team’s future.
One of his biggest tasks will be preparing for the 2025 NFL Draft, where Jacksonville holds the No. 5 overall pick. Given his history of identifying top talent, Jaguars fans have reason to be optimistic about what’s to come. The road to rebuilding won’t be easy, but with Gladstone at the helm, Jacksonville is taking a calculated step toward long-term success.
