Jaarian Jones Dominant In Consecutive Days: Training Camp Day 6 highlights & observations

The Jaguars leaned heavily into their “home field advantage” today, practicing outside during Jacksonville’s scalding 111 degree heat index. And while the weather was a scorcher, so were the plays being made on the field.

On Tuesday, the Jacksonville Jaguars took to the Miller Electric practice fields for their second day of padded practices in 2025, with this one being slightly longer and more physical than Monday’s affair. With a near-sold out attendance, the highly-competitive Tuesday training camp featured many expected impressive performances, with maybe a few surprising names. Here are our top highlights and observations from Day 6 of Jaguars’ training camp at the Miller Electric Center practice fields.

Notes from practice

• CB Jarrian Jones put up a second consecutive dominant day in converge on Tuesday, with two forced incompletions in the teams period (one of which was arguably a pass breakup). He then took the practice temperature up to another level, after giving up a five-yard catch in the 1-on-1 session against Brian Thomas Jr. He would follow up that rep with a game-changing play. This one an impressive one-handed interception, snatched from Thomas Jr’s grasp on the slightly late and/or off target throw from Lawrence.

That’s back to back practices with highlight plays made from the second-year corner out of FSU. With the additional snaps since Montaric Brown’s early training camp injury, Jones has stepped up in a big way this week. With his play continuing to be at this level, he could potentially push Jourdan Lewis for a starting role.

Defensive coordinator Anthony Campanile spoke about Jones after practice:

“He’s a great competitor. He really works hard to play with technique. I think he did a great job in the spring, and then he really worked. He’s one of the guys who really worked hard in the summer, was with a lot of the guys on the team, working technique, studying, so he came back to camp really ready to go. I see a lot of the drill work he’s doing every day is showing up now. The muscle memory is starting to set in, and he’s really playing with good technique. It is starting to show up in all the one-on-one work and team periods”.

He later continued...

”He’s going to give you everything he’s got until the end of the play, so I think that was awesome that he was rewarded on that.”

• WR Travis Hunter completed his second consecutive day on offense, with a smooth looking day running his routes. Hunter would open his day with a redzone touchdown, breaking free of the coverage in a scramble drill. Lawrence would find him settled in the hole within the zone at the back of the endzone for the catch. He would then catch three additional targets between the 1-on-1 and 11-on-11 teams periods, with another near-touchdown in the redzone period where he failed to get his second foot down.

• S Eric Murray collected a nice pass breakup during the...
