The Jacksonville Jaguars head into the 2025 NFL draft with their running back position under scrutiny. Despite an active free agency period that did not address this area, the team retains Travis Etienne and Tank Bigsby for the upcoming season. The absence of re-signed free agent D'Ernest Johnson leaves room for additional depth at the position.
Looking ahead, the Jaguars face impending contract situations with their current running backs, emphasizing the need for future planning. Enhancing the running game will not only aid quarterback Trevor Lawrence but also contribute to offensive versatility under new offensive coordinator Liam Coen. The draft presents an opportunity for the Jaguars to bolster their running back corps, with a deep pool of talent available to complement their roster.
