The 2025-26 NFL Season officially came to an end for the Jacksonville Jaguars after their unfortunate loss to the Buffalo Bills during Wild Card Weekend. The Jaguars gathered at the facilities on Monday
afternoon for the locker room cleanout. While there appeared to be a general sense of disappointment that the season was over, some players spoke about their season, the off-season, and the future. I gathered and summarized a few quotes that stood out.
Trevor Lawrence
Continuing to improve accuracy and giving the guys opportunities to catch the ball with space are two things Trevor Lawrence wants to work on during the offseason. Lawrence plans on watching tape to reflect on his game play and improvements he wants to make moving forward. He noted his footwork in the pocket got sloppy. Lawrence knows there are adjustments he needs to make and will continue to put the work in.
Travis Etienne Jr.
Jacksonville has always embraced Travis Etienne Jr. and made him feel at home. Having access to the beach was amazing to him, and since he hates the cold, the Lord sent him here for a reason. Etienne noted Coen is a “very modern coach” and that his offense was showcased this year. The mindset of this regime was what stood out to him. “It’s never about the finished product; it’s always about growing.” Etienne thinks Lawrence needs to “let his nuts hang” and “be cocky. Stop caring what people think.”
Parker Washington
Parker Washington stated that he has not started a season where he knows what his opportunities are going to look like, so he’s hoping that’s the case while building during the offseason. He wants to be the best that he can be for the team, and a big thing for him is continuing to see the connection with Trevor Lawrence grow. He aspires for the connection to grow on a personal and professional level due to how well that translates on the field.
Jakobi Meyers
Jakobi Meyers spoke briefly about his respect for Head Coach Liam Coen. Meyers said Coen knows how to call a game and develop plays, and that he is looking forward to learning more about Coach Coen as a person and a coach during the offseason.
Brian Thomas Jr.
Brian Thomas Jr. would not say his play was frustrating this season, stating that “adversity gives you a lot to grow from.” He’s learned lessons and knows what he has to do and what he needs to build on to sustain.
Travon Walker
When Travon Walker was asked about his growth this season, he responded that he had grown more from a mental aspect, personally and professionally. In regard to the team, Walker stated, “I feel like being more connected with the players in the locker room,” both inside and outside of the facility. He highlighted that the bond had grown amongst themselves.
Devin Lloyd
Devin Lloyd did not expect the season to already be over. He’s still trying to comprehend and is disappointed. He thinks the feeling is going to linger, but players have to “get over it, get your body right, and just look back at all the good things we did this year.”
Foye Oluokun
Foye Oluokun was asked if this team changed the standard for Jaguars football, and he noted there is an expectation on how things can and should look, and that the team does not need to reset, but needs to “come back and establish” how they want to look next season.
Jourdan Lewis
Jourdan Lewis touched on the heartbreak that they couldn’t get the job done for Coach Campanile. “He brought the coach out in me; he brought out the guy I always wanted to be.” Lewis was grateful that Coach Camp allowed him the opportunity to be a guy that players were able to lean on as a leader. Lewis has learned a lot from Coach during their short time together. He stated that Camp made the team better players and better men.
