The Jacksonville Jaguars are ranked 17th in USA TODAY's latest NFL power rankings, placing them in the middle tier ahead of the 2026 season. The Jaguars, coming off a 13-4 season, aim to prove their previous success was not a fluke as they prepare to report to training camp at the end of July. Key players like Trevor Lawrence are expected to build on their performances, and the addition of Chris Rodriguez Jr. offers depth in the backfield. Jacksonville's draft included 10 selections, starting with tight end Nate Boerkircher in Round 2. The Jaguars' preseason kicks off on September 13 against the Cleveland Browns.
