JACKSONVILLE \u2013 LeQuint Allen Jr.<\/a>‘s smiling these days.<\/p>\n

That’s hardly unusual for the Jaguars’ second-year running back, and it’s not just because he likes what’s going on around the Miller Electric Center as the 2026 offseason closes and the regular season approaches. But make no mistake:<\/p>\n

Allen absolutely likes the feeling around the Jaguars.<\/p>\n

“We’re moving in the right direction,” Allen said.<\/p>\n

Allen, a seventh-round selection by the Jaguars in the 2025 NFL Draft who emerged as a contributor and leader in his rookie season, joined senior writer John Oehser for this 2026 offseason O-Zone Podcast. He discussed multiple topics, including what’s good in the direction around the franchise.<\/p>\n

“We’re connecting,” Allen said. “The vets are taking care of the younger guys and building relationships. Everyone has the same goal. Once that happens, it’s easier because we’re more connected.”<\/p>\n

Allen’s also smiling these days because he feels stronger and faster entering his second NFL season. He’s ready to contribute in a balanced, versatile running back room that includes \u2013 among others \u2013 second-year veteran Bhayshul Tuten<\/a> and veteran Chris Rodriguez Jr.<\/a><\/p>\n

“We have to move as one,” he said. “We’re a unit. We need everyone. The coaches determine my role. I determine my effort and what I establish on the field when it’s time.”<\/p>\n

Added Allen: “I want to be prepared for this season. The train is leaving. We’re going toward a common goal. We’re going to dominate every opponent who comes our way because we’ve worked too hard.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"JACKSONVILLE \u2013 LeQuint Allen Jr.‘s smiling these days.
