HERE<\/a><\/p>\nNext up: Jaguars 2025 Offensive Player of the Year (OPOY)\u2026<\/p>\n
\u2026 and Jaguars 2025 Defensive Player of the Year (DPOY).<\/p>\n
For OPOY, I voted for Brenton Strange. When the Jaguars took the field in September, it was immediately apparent that Liam Coen built his offense not around Brian Thomas Jr., or Travis Hunter, or Travis Etienne, but Strange. The third-year tight end unlocked a motion-based, midzone-heavy run scheme, and he was being weaponized in space more than any other blocker on the roster. Strange also recorded career-highs across the board in receiving stats, as Coen utilized him downfield more often (and with more success) than anyone would\u2019ve expected entering the season. I believe Strange became the Jaguars\u2019 most valuable offensive player not named Trevor Lawrence in 2025.<\/p>\n
For DPOY, I voted for Devin Lloyd. It\u2019s hard not to reward Josh Hines-Allen or Foye Oluokun for their years of service captaining Jacksonville\u2019s defense, but Lloyd was on a different level this past season. He blossomed from an impressive yet inconsistent run stuffer to a true do-it-all guy, as he clearly played at a different speed under Anthony Campanile and became a more vocal leader as well. Lloyd\u2019s biggest development over the season was in coverage \u2014 if you recall, the Jaguars gave Ventrell Miller a decent amount of preseason starter reps because they thought he might be a bit better against the pass. Lloyd went ahead and recorded the second-most interceptions of any NFL player during the regular season (5).<\/p>\n
