What is Jaguars most improved position in 2026? Insider weighs in
What position group improved the most for the Jaguars this offseason? One Jacksonville insider weighed in.
Following free agency and the NFL draft, where have the Jacksonville Jaguars improved the most this offseason? Each of ESPN's NFL Nation reporters answered that question for their respective teams. When it came to the Jaguars , Michael DiRocco selected the cornerback position.
The main reason for DiRocco's selection? Travis Hunter being healthy. "The Jaguars believe Hunter was their best corner despite the smaller workload on defense," DiRocco wrote.
" Re-signing Montaric Brown to start on the other side is a major plus, too. If Jourdan Lewis returns to his level of play before his Week 16 foot injury , cornerback will be the Jaguars' strongest position group. " As DiRocco notes, Hunter played only 37% of the defensive snaps last season before his injury.
However, he brings impressive ball skills and an innate coverage ability to the Jacksonville secondary. Those abilities can be maximized with him taking on a larger role defensively. Along with Hunter, re-signing Montaric Brown was key to providing stability at this unit.
