LeQuint Allen discusses evolving role in Jaguars' offense for Year 2
Summary

RB LeQuint Allen is poised to take on a larger role in the Jacksonville Jaguars' offense during the 2026 season. After a promising rookie year where he excelled in pass protection, he aims to increase his touches and contributions in the passing game. While competition exists primarily between Bhayshul Tuten and Chris Rodriguez for the starting running back position, Allen will also play a key role in the committee approach expected from the Jaguars this season.
