AFC Shakeups Bring New Plans And One Big Name

Offseason shake-ups in the AFC spotlight versatile strategies and new acquisitions aimed at elevating teams across the board.

Jaguars

The Jaguars are shaking things up with a unique approach for their versatile player, Travis Hunter. Head Coach Liam Coen is planning to have Hunter split his time equally between wide receiver and cornerback roles this offseason.

Last year, the focus was more compartmentalized, dedicating entire days to one side of the ball. This year, they’re opting for a more integrated approach, similar to how they managed Hunter’s role during the season.

This shift aims to maximize Hunter’s impact on both offense and defense, making him a dual threat that opponents will need to account for every game.

Texans

The Houston Texans made a significant move by acquiring running back David Montgomery from the Detroit Lions in March. Lions Head Coach Dan Campbell had nothing but praise for Montgomery, highlighting the mutual benefits of the trade.

Campbell described Montgomery as a “stud” and a true professional, expressing confidence that Houston will appreciate the talent they’ve gained. Montgomery, on his part, is thrilled to join the Texans.

He’s been impressed by the team during joint practices and is eager to contribute under Coach Ryans’ leadership. Montgomery is determined to showcase his versatility beyond the “power back” label, ready to prove he can do it all.

With his sights set on making a big impact, Montgomery is poised to thrive in Houston’s dynamic offense.

Titans

Over in Tennessee, Titans Head Coach Robert Saleh has his eyes on right tackle JC Latham, a player he previously studied extensively during his time in New York. Although Saleh didn’t have the chance to draft Latham, he’s now thrilled to have him on the Titans’ roster.

Saleh praises Latham’s athleticism and acknowledges the potential for growth both on and off the field. The focus is on helping Latham elevate his game by mastering the nuances of blocking elite pass rushers and refining his professional approach.

With the right development, Latham has the tools to become a standout offensive lineman in the league.
