Jaguars Looking to Break Out
The Jaguars paid Trevor Lawrence in the off-season, and they are hoping it will pay off long-term. The signal caller completed 65.6% of his passes for more than 4,000 yards last season. He threw 21 touchdowns and 14 interceptions. The big stat was he was sacked 35 times in 2024.
His top target was Calvin Ridley. Ridley is no longer with the team. Instead, Christian Kirk, Gabe Davis, and newcomer Brain Thomas Jr. are in the mix. Evan Engram remains as the tight end for the Jaguars.
At running back Travis Etienne is set for a monster season. Last season, he just went over the 1,000-yard rushing mark. He finished with 11 touchdowns and did lose a fumble all season long. The Jaguars will play their first home game in Week Two. They will host the Cleveland Browns.
