Jaguars fans — are you confident the team is headed in the right direction?
And who should start at cornerback alongside Jourdan Lewis?
Please take our surveyIn his first snap as a Jaguar, Greg Newsome allowed a 61-yard touchdown to Jaxon Smith-Njigba. Not a great start. He’s still the leading candidate to draw snaps behind Lewis, though, considering the trade Jacksonville made to get him.
Meanwhile, first-round draft pick Travis Hunter is becoming more comfortable on defense each week. He had a nice PBU against JSN on Sunday and a third down stop against Travis Kelce on Monday Night Football.
The team’s leader in pass breakups over the past two weeks isn’t Hunter, or Lewis. It’s Montaric “Buster” Brown. He reportedly had a lot of fans in the building entering the season, and now we’re seeing why. He’s at least earned a spot in the rotation.
Jarrian Jones is still hanging around as well. After shining as a rookie slot corner in 2024, he’s been slipping in the depth chart following the team’s additions of Lewis in free agency, Hunter in the draft, and Newsome in the trade market.
