JACKSONVILLE \u2013 All was bright, all was hot and all was good.<\/p>\n
The Jaguars on Monday afternoon held their 2025 first organized team activities practice under first-year Head Coach Liam Coen<\/a> at the Miller Electric Center. It was a hot, clear day of unpadded work \u2013 and it went as Coen said you might expect.<\/p>\n It wasn’t perfect, but work got done. That made it productive.<\/p>\n “There’s an energy on the practice field,” Trevor Lawrence said.<\/p>\n Trevor Lawrence<\/a>, who underwent surgery on his left (non-throwing) shoulder in December and spent three offseason months rehabilitating, threw extensively during Monday’s two-hour session \u2013 the first of 10 scheduled voluntary OTA practices over the next three weeks that will be followed by a three-day mandatory mid-June minicamp in mid-June.<\/p>\n Coen spoke immediately after Lawrence, lauding attendance and energy \u2013 if not execution \u2013 on a day on which the offense committed several turnovers in the first 11-on-11 work of the offseason program.<\/p>\n “Ultimately, it’s voluntary,” Coen said. “All we ask is if you’re not going to be here, can you communicate to us in a timely manner? That has been consistently getting better. We’re setting schedules, setting up individual work that we want to be individualized for some of those players.<\/p>\n “I’ve been pleased with the guys that have been here and working. They’ve done nothing but do what we ask. They’ve been doing it from Day One. They’ve worked their tails off. They seem to have good energy at all times. It’s not always easy to come out and be buzzing around all the time. These guys are.<\/p>\n “It’s their jobs, but they’ve done their jobs to a high level thus far.”<\/p>\n Monday also marked the first NFL 11-on-11 work for rookie wide receiver\/defensive back Travis Hunter<\/a>, the No. 2 overall selection in the 2025 NFL Draft<\/a>. Hunter, who will play offense and defense, worked exclusively on offense Monday.<\/p>\n The Jaguars’ plan is for Hunter to work about 75 percent of practice\/preparation offensively and start his career playing offense essentially full-time. He is expected to practice\/prepare about 25 percent defensively and play more situationally defensively early in his rookie season.<\/p>\n “So far, so good,” Coen said of Hunter. “He had a couple missed assignments today that he knew right away. He came off the grass and took accountability for them. The one thing you notice is as a guy that hasn’t played a ton of football or been out conditioning maybe for the last two months because he was on a little bit of a tour \u2026 the guy can run forever.<\/p>\n “You can tell he’s in football shape.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"JACKSONVILLE \u2013 All was bright, all was hot and all was good.
