Jaguars Build Roster Around Lawrence, Thomas Jr. for 2025 Rebound

The Jacksonville Jaguars are focused on rebounding from a disappointing 4-13 season by leveraging the talents of key players such as quarterback Trevor Lawrence, wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr., and defensive tackle Jordan Jefferson. Lawrence, entering his fifth NFL season, is seen as vital to the team's success, with teammates emphasizing the importance of his ability to avoid sacks and lead an efficient offense combining both passing and running plays. Brian Thomas Jr. has emerged as a standout player, described as the best on the roster for his ability to stretch defenses and create difficult plays, complementing other receivers like Travis Hunter and Dyami Brown. Meanwhile, Jordan Jefferson, a second-year defensive tackle, is gaining recognition as an under-the-radar player with potential to contribute significantly alongside Maason Smith. The Jaguars' defensive end Arik Armstead highlighted the importance of dominating their division and playing fast on defense as key to returning to the playoffs. Overall, the Jaguars are optimistic about their mix of youthful talent and strategic improvements heading into the 2025 NFL season.
