In this comprehensive 2026-27 Jacksonville Jaguars Season Preview, we break down the roster from top to bottom and give fans the ultimate guide to the team's postseason potential.
The Offense: Trevor Lawrence's Next Evolution:
Quarterback Trevor Lawrence put together the best football of his career last season, and now he enters his second year in Coen's high-flying offensive system.

On the defensive side, coordinator Anthony Campanile returns to lead a unit that dominated opposing ground games a year ago. We examine the edge-rushing tandem of Josh Hines-Allen and Travon Walker, spotlight the leadership of linebacker Foyesade Oluokun, and look at how a retooled secondary featuring Travis Hunter and Antonio Johnson will look to force key takeaways against the conference's elite quarterbacks.
