Jaguars Bolster Offense, Tank Bigsby, Brian Thomas Jr. Poised for 2025 Breakouts

The Jacksonville Jaguars are positioning themselves for a promising 2025 NFL season with significant roster and coaching changes, including new head coach Liam Coen and coordinators Grant Udinski and Anthony Campanile. Key players like QB Trevor Lawrence and wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr., who had a breakout 2024 season, are expected to elevate their performance, supported by the addition of second overall pick Travis Hunter. At running back, Tank Bigsby is emerging as a likely starter over Travis Etienne, bolstered by the new ATEX metric which ranks Bigsby seventh among potential breakout backs due to his ability to force missed tackles and produce explosive runs. This metric, developed by Chris Trapasso, is gaining attention for its predictive power in identifying running back potential, similar to its impact on Atlanta Falcons' Tyler Allgeier, who is also highlighted as a breakout candidate. The Jaguars' offensive line is undergoing adjustments with new starters like Jawaan Edoga, while the team experiments with receiver and tight end rotations under Coen’s system. Overall, Jacksonville's revamped lineup and coaching staff create optimism for a turnaround after a disappointing 4-13 2024 season.
