The Jacksonville Jaguars have the potential to be legitimate Super Bowl contenders this season.

The Jaguars are returning an overwhelming number of their starters from last year's 13-4 team. They should also be able to count on much better seasons from wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr., who had a miserable 2025, and both Travon Walker and Travis Hunter, who are both healthy again after having their seasons greatly affected by injuries last year.

Head coach Liam Coen is now in his second season at the helm, and his players can now start to perfect their play in his system instead of having to learn it. Coen has put a lot of time and effort into making sure his team doesn't experience a letdown in Year 2.

The passing game, with the combination of an MVP-candidate quarterback in Trevor Lawrence and a stellar crop of receivers, should be especially great. One analyst picked the Jaguars' passing attack as his biggest reason for excitement this year.

Despite the team's potential strengths, there are still a handful of questions that must be answered this year. Until they are answered, many people will continue to doubt whether Jacksonville is truly one of the NFL's best teams or just a one-year wonder.

One of the biggest questions surrounding this team is how good the run game will be. The departure of Travis Etienne in free agency has made running back the Jaguars' biggest perceived weakness for months.

The Athletic just released its preview of the Jaguars. In it, Derrik Klassen chose one thing about the Jags that is "keeping him up at night." Like most, Klassen is worried about Jacksonville's rushing attack.

Unlike the others, who have mainly expressed doubt in the team's running backs, Klassen is also worried about the offensive line, which has undergone significant changes.

Jacksonville's offensive line has been reshuffled this season. Rookie Emmanuel Pregnon has earned the starting job at left guard.

And by earned, I mean starting right guard Patrick Mekari recently had back surgery, forcing the team to move Ezra Cleveland from LG to RG, which has opened a starting job for Pregnon.

Both tackle spots have also seen a change. Left tackle Cole Van Lanen's injury, which had him on the PUP list until recently, caused the position to become a game of musical chairs. Walker Little originally replaced Van Lanen at LT, but struggled badly. Anton Harrison, who has been the right tackle for the last three years, was then moved to LT. 

What started as an experiment became a permanent switch. Even with Van Lanen returning, Harrison is staying at LT, his college position, while CVL has been moved to the right side.

Klassen wonders if all the changes will be too much for the line to overcome. 

Like everyone else, he also wonders if Jacksonville's running back will be good enough.

"The offensive line and run game needs, like, four dominoes to fall in succession for this thing to work out. They are lipping their tackles. Anton Harrison is going to play left tackle. Cole Van Lanen is going to play right tackle. Van Lanen, who knows what he looks like after the season-ending injury from last year. Emmanuel Pregnon is going to be playing left guard for them. He’s a third-round rookie. He looked good in the one preseason game he played, but it’s one preseason game and he’s a third-round rookie. Like you just don’t know exactly how much better that’s going to be for them. On top of that, how good is Bhayshul Tuten really? How good is Chris Rodriguez really? And so I think you just need all of these things to fall into place."

Klassen's concerns about the line are valid. Even though the starting five are all talented, great offensive lines heavily rely on continuity for their success. With new faces and old faces in different spots, the Jaguars' line does not have much continuity to start the season.

As for RB, both Bhayshul Tuten and Chris Rodriguez Jr. have taken turns impressing during the offseason. Tuten's game-breaking speed gives him star potential, while Rodriguez brings a power element to the backfield that the team has lacked.

Harrison and Van Lanen may have switched sides, but both are talented and experienced. They should be able to perform well at their new positions.

I don't believe Jacksonville's run game is nearly the concern many have made it out to be.

Someone should tell Klassen he can stop worrying so much and get some sleep.
