The Jacksonville Jaguars are entering an offseason that demands attention to their rushing game, which showed some promise yet lacked the consistency required for a competitive edge. While Travis Etienne Jr. and Tank Bigsby have shown flashes of potential, with Etienne recording 558 rushing yards on 150 carries and Bigsby totaling 766 yards from 168 carries, questions remain about their overall capability as a duo. The Jaguars averaged just 101.7 rushing yards per game, ranking them among the league's lower tiers.
Despite a respectable total of 13 rushing touchdowns, the Jaguars did not present a consistent threat on the ground, which could prompt the front office to explore additional options at running back. With a top-five draft selection on the horizon, Jacksonville could consider adding another talent to the backfield, potentially allowing for either Etienne or Bigsby to emerge as the primary option. While a star running back may be out of reach, an affordable and seasoned addition might be feasible, enhancing the team's rushing strategy as they build for the future.
