Jaguars offensive linemen excluded from ESPN's top rankings
Summary

Three interior offensive linemen for the Jacksonville JaguarsEzra Cleveland, Robert Hainsey, and Patrick Mekari—were omitted from ESPN's 2026 rankings of top interior offensive linemen. Constructed with input from NFL executives, coaches, and scouts, the rankings did not feature any Jaguars players. Last season, the Jaguars' offensive line ranked ninth in ESPN's pass-block win rate, with Cleveland, Hainsey, and Mekari holding spots in the mid-range of individual efficiency metrics. The team is looking to enhance its run game, which lagged behind during the previous season, as they prepare for upcoming competitions. Cleveland, Hainsey, and Mekari are expected to maintain their starting positions, although there may be competition for the right tackle spot from Wyatt Milum.
