Mass in the past: Josh Hines-Allen and his Jaguars teammates slim down in hopes of turning up

  • Josh Hines-Allen and Travon Walker, key Jacksonville Jaguars defenders, adjusted their playing weight last season to adapt to new roles.
  • They added weight to transition from outside linebackers in a 3-4 scheme to defensive ends in Ryan Nielsen's 4-3 defense but felt it impacted their late-season play.
  • In 2023, the Jaguars set a franchise sack record with 17.5 sacks across 17 games, while Hines-Allen recorded 8 sacks and Walker posted a career-high 10.5 sacks last season.
  • The team signed pass rushers Emmanuel Ogbah and Dawuane Smoot, with 47.5 and 25 career sacks respectively, aiming to bolster the defense alongside Hines-Allen and Walker.
  • Jaguars coaches emphasized player comfort over mandated weight, encouraging Hines-Allen and Walker to play at sustainable weights to maximize field time and durability.
