ESPN highlights Jaguars' Caleb Ransaw as key defender for 2026 season
Summary

ESPN has named Caleb Ransaw, a safety for the Jacksonville Jaguars, as a crucial under-the-radar player to watch for the 2026 NFL season. While Ransaw missed his entire rookie season due to a foot injury, he utilized that time to learn the defense. Analysts believe this offseason will be vital for Ransaw to translate his knowledge into performance. The Jaguars' expected starting safeties are Eric Murray and Antonio Johnson, but Ransaw's skills could see him involved in a three-safety formation under defensive coordinator Anthony Campanile. Ransaw demonstrated solid tackling and coverage abilities during his college career.
