Jacksonville Jaguars RB RolesLast Update: 8/28/2024
RB Overview
Role Security: Very High
08/28/24 Travis Etienne is the clear lead back. Etienne will see work on all three downs along with red-zone work as well. However, Etienne typically does not get high volume. D'Ernest Johnson and Tank Bigsby will compete for work when Etienne is off the field.
WR Overview
08/23/24 Although he often plays in the slot, Christian Kirk is expected to be the Jaguars' primary receiver. The Jaguars used a first-round pick to select Brian Thomas. The rookie is expected to be the lead outside receiver. The team brought in Gabe Davis in free agency to likely give them a deep threat to keep defenses honest. Also, the coaching staff has indicated a desire to expand Davis' role beyond that of a field stretcher. It's unclear how many targets that will result in.
TE Overview
08/23/24 Evan Engram is the lead TE. Not only will he dominate TE targets, but he could challenge Christian Kirk for the team lead in targets.
