-- The Jacksonville Jaguars have spent the last few weeks on the practice field in the thick of their second-ever OTAs under head coach Liam Coen, and plenty has gone down at the Miller Electric Center facility.for members of the Jaguars' roster to build some momentum ahead of training camp, flash their talents, and provide some hope at one spot or another.do this over the last few weeks of Jaguars OTA practices, and several players have made a case to make a leap up the depth chart as a result. Here are four players who, for now, look like they are creating some depth chart movement with their play on the practice field.

| Corey Perrine/Florida Times-Union / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images It certainly felt like fifth-round rookie tight end Tanner Koziol had a big fight on his hands for snaps at a remade tight end room, even if he has always been a lock for the roster due to his draft status. , Nate Boerkircher will clearly have a role as the No. 56 pick, and the Jaguars re-signed versatile and steady veteran Quintin Morris earlier this offseason.
He was widely expected to be the TE4 entering OTAs, but he has done enough to earn more looks than that and to even be considered for the TE3 role. A big part of his evaluation will come with pads on, but the athletic ability and pass-catching traits have already shown up early on, and it looks like both will make it hard to keep him on the sidelines all game.
Jacksonville Jaguars running back J'Mari Taylor hits a blocking pad during rookie minicamp at the Miller Electric Center, Saturday, May 9, 2026 in Jacksonville, Fla. Today was the second of a three day camp concluding Sunday.
| Corey Perrine/Florida Times-Union / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images There was certainly plenty of interest in Jaguars rookie running back J'Mari Taylor right off the bat once he signed with the Jaguars in undrafted free agency, and he has done nothing to quiet down the hype since. With that said, Taylor entered the offseason program needing to beat out DeeJay Dallas and then, eventually, Ameer Abdullah.
Dallas has veteran experience, knows the playbook, and offers special teams value, so he is not exactly an easy player to leap on the depth chart as the No. 4 running back. It is hard to say Taylor has been able to do so until the pads come on, but to this point,Aug 29, 2025; Boulder, Colorado, USA; Colorado Buffaloes cornerback Preston Hodge reacts to a turnover in the first quarter against the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets at Folsom Field.

Hodge, another undrafted free agency signing, has made plays in each of the OTA practices and has the versatile and productive skill set to suggest he has some staying power.
Hodge entered the offseason program needing to seperate himself amongst a host of other cornerbacks for the backup spot, such as fellow rookie Devon Marshall and veteran cornerback Keith Taylor. But Taylor has since been placed on injured reserve, and Hodge has stood out more than Marshall to this point.
There is one cornerback who has been able to keep pace with Hodge when it comes to a depth spot: second-year cornerback Jabbar Muhammad, who has been able to get his hands on plenty of passes this summer. Those two look like the clear risers for the Jaguars at the cornerback position.

But even with that context in mind, it is hard not to watch the Jaguars over the last few weeks and not think they haveThe Jaguars did add two rookies at the position in fourth-rounder Wesley Williams and seventh-rounder Zach Durfee, who should each make an impact in some fashion.
There is also fellow second-year defensive end B.J. Greeen who, like Striggow, made a positive impression last season. But Striggow simply looks like the Jaguars' clear-cut No. 3 defensive end at this point in the offseason, and OTAs only confirmed as much. Loading recommendations...
