The Jacksonville Jaguars are among the worst teams in the National Football League because they have one of the worst rosters in the NFL. Although the team has suffered numerous injuries to key players, the squad as a whole is not very good.
At 2-7, with five of their seven losses by one score or less, the Jaguars need a rebuild and will likely do so this season. Still, it’s the NFL, and the Jaguars still have quality talent in the locker room.
Pro Football Focus’ Bradley Locker recently released his list of this season’s highest-rated and most surprising players. Locker named Jaguars edge rusher Josh Hines-Allen the team’s highest-rated player, with an 87.5 grade through the first nine games.
The Jaguars rewarded Hines-Allen with a $141 million extension before the season, and he has maintained his ridiculous level of play. The Kentucky product ranks ninth among all defensive players with a pass-rush winning percentage of 19.4 % and leads Jacksonville in pressure with 37.”
Locker called the Jaguars’ biggest surprise running back Tank Bigsby. The talented running back would share carries with fellow running back Travis Etienne, but Bigsby has started taking on more carries.
“Doug Pederson’s offense hasn’t been smooth in 2024, but Bigsby has asserted himself as a power runner,” said Diamond. “The former Auburn Tiger has posted a rushing grade of 80.8 on 85 carries, forcing 27 missed tackles (T-11th) and leading the league in yards after contact per attempt (4.40).”
Bigsby’s success may surprise Locker, but those who have watched him are far from surprised by his season. He was one of the most productive backs, and until injuries occurred, he and Etienne were among the best running back duos in the NFL.
The upcoming NFL Draft and free agency period may be one of the most crucial in Jaguars history. They need to use the second half of the season to see which players are worth keeping and which players are worth moving on.
