As we gear up for training camp, it's time to dive into the Jacksonville Jaguars' 90-man roster, taking a closer look at each player. Today, we're focusing on cornerback Christian Braswell, who dons the number 21 jersey.
Standing at 5-11 and weighing in at 185 pounds, Braswell is entering his fourth year in the NFL at the age of 26. A Rutgers product, he was picked by the Jaguars in the sixth round of the 2023 NFL Draft, and he's been with the team ever since.
Reflecting on Braswell's 2025 season, he was a constant presence on the field, participating in all 17 regular season games. His primary role was on special teams, where he clocked 176 snaps, showcasing his versatility across four of the six different phases. On the defensive side, Braswell added depth by playing 160 snaps over 10 games, recording 14 total tackles-11 of which were solo-and defending three passes.
As we look ahead to the 2026 season, Braswell faces a competitive battle to secure his place in a crowded cornerback lineup. With Travis Hunter, Montaric Brown, Jourdan Lewis, and Jarrian Jones all but guaranteed spots, there may only be room for one or two more cornerbacks on the roster. If there's just one spot up for grabs, Braswell's main competition will be Jabbar Muhammad, who has been turning heads with his performance in offseason training.
Braswell's ability to contribute on special teams and his reliability as a backup cornerback last season have bolstered his case. If he can replicate that performance during this summer's training camp, he'll have a legitimate shot at clinching one of the Jaguars' final roster spots.

Jaguars Suddenly Have A Linebacker Battle Fans Thought Was Settled
The offseason has already nudged a few assumed depth-chart answers back into the conversation, and linebacker is suddenly one of them. For Jacksonville, the spot next to Foye Oluokun looked like it had a clear favorite heading into camp, with Ventrell Miller positioned to keep building on his role while the coaching staff continued sorting out the rest of the defense.
What makes it interesting is how often the Jaguars have talked about competition under Liam Coen, and that now appears to include the linebacker room as much as anywhere else. A young challenger has earned more chances in recent work and shown enough to keep the job from feeling locked up, which means this is shaping up as one of those camp battles that can change the tone of the entire defense before the preseason even really gets going.

Jaguars QB Room Faces A Sneaky Camp Decision Behind Trevor Lawrence
As training camp approaches, the Jaguars quarterback room looks mostly settled at the top, with Trevor Lawrence in place and Nick Mullens expected to remain the primary backup. The real intrigue is lower on the depth chart, where Jacksonville is sorting out a third quarterback spot that could carry more weight than the label suggests.
Carter Bradley enters with the sort of familiarity that usually matters in camp, especially in Liam Coens system, and that gives him a reasonable early edge. But Joey Aguilar brings enough upside to make this more than a formality, and the Jaguars will have to decide whether comfort or potential matters more when they fill out the room behind Lawrence.

Jaguars Camp Could Finally Settle Their Most Frustrating Backfield Debate
Training camp is about to give the Jaguars something they have not had much clarity on in the backfield: a real chance to sort out who should lead the way. Bhayshul Tuten, Chris Rodriguez and LeQuint Allen are lined up for a competition that has been waiting for the pads to come on, and the extra reps during the offseason have already helped shape the early pecking order.
Tuten has taken advantage of the opening to get a longer look, while Allen gives Jacksonville a different kind of option if the staff wants more versatility in the passing game. Even if one runner emerges as the front-runner entering the season, the more likely outcome is a shared workload that keeps all three involved, which means this may be less about finding one answer than about deciding how the Jaguars want the pieces to fit.
