S³ Strengths

✅Offensive line continues improving.
✅Brian Thomas Jr., Parker Washington, and Travis Hunter give Jacksonville explosive playmaking ability.
✅Anthony Campanile's defense forced 31 takeaways last season.

S³ Concerns

❌Replacing Devin Lloyd's leadership and production.
❌Finding consistent pass-rush help opposite Josh Hines-Allen.
❌Replacing Etienne's explosiveness.
❌Playing only six true home games because of the stadium renovation.

🎯 S³ Prediction

S³ Record Prediction
11–6
Division Finish
1st AFC South

Jacksonville proved in 2025 that Liam Coen's system works. The coaching continuity and Trevor Lawrence's growth keep the Jaguars among the AFC South favorites. The biggest challenge will be replacing Devin Lloyd and adapting to a season with a reduced home-field advantage during the stadium renovation.

Playoff Outlook

🏆 AFC contender with the talent and coaching stability to make another postseason run.
