What You Need To Know
1) Cornerback/wide receiver Travis Hunter was the top prospect in rating and in intrigue coming into April's draft, and the Jaguars' strategy to acclimate him into the NFL world has been discussed ad nauseum around the league. Early on in workouts, the Jaguars limited him to one side of the ball per session, but started mixing things up as the weeks went on. Head coach Liam Coen has teased that training camp will feature a big ramp-up in how much Hunter is expected to pull double duty to prepare him for in-season responsibilities. These first practices in full pads will be crucial for the dynamic dual threat's development, as well as the best indication of just how, and how much, Jacksonville is actually planning on using him on each side of the ball.
2) Trevor Lawrence is no stranger to the pressure of rebounding under a new head coach after a rough season. Pairing their young star with new HC Coen, who led Baker Mayfield back into prominence while with the Buccaneers, Jacksonville will be hoping the coach's tutelage and scheme can do the same for Lawrence. Camp will provide the first look at this new partnership, with the added dimension of Lawrence coming back after his first season missing extended time due to injury. The development of chemistry between Lawrence and the multiple new pass catchers behind last year's leader Brian Thomas Jr. will also be a storyline to watch.
3) Running back Travis Etienne has held the lead back role for his three seasons in Jacksonville, but suffered mightily last year, going from 267 carries for 1,008 yards and 11 touchdowns in 2023 to 150/558/2 last season and getting passed by Tank Bigsby for the team lead in rushing yards. All that led to trade rumors swirling earlier this offseason, though both Coen and Etienne shut down the talk. Nevertheless, Etienne's position seems shakier than this time last year, and camp could be a chance for Bigsby to gain more ground on him and the team's two newly drafted RBs to snatch away snaps, or for Etienne to lock in the starting spot for a fourth year.
