The Jacksonville Jaguars came into 2021 with shiny new toys at quarterback (Trevor Lawrence) and running back (Travis Etienne), but they were led by a head coach (Urban Meyer) who struggled to handle adversity, losing and professional football players. Lawrence played far below his college resume, and Etienne suffered a season-ending foot injury before playing in one regular-season game. On the positive side, Jacksonville added another pair of first-round draft picks this year to help their rebuild process. The offensive stars should rise and have growth this year. I expect Etienne to develop into a stud at running back in 2022. In the offseason, the Jaguars gave Lawrence more passing weapons (Christian Kirk, Zay Jones, Evan Engram), pointing to a much better passing attack. Best of all, they have a new fearless leader in head coach Doug Pederson).
