Jaguars' X-factors on defense heading into training camp

Ahead of the Jacksonville Jaguars’ 2026 training camp, the defensive outlook centers on who can produce “X-factors” beyond headline names such as Josh Hines-Allen, Travon Walker, and Travis Hunter. The article points to LB Ventrell Miller as a key piece after the team lost linebacker Devin Lloyd to free agency following a breakout that included second-team All-Pro and Pro Bowl honors. It argues Miller could take on a bigger role, citing his improvement through successive seasons and an impressive training-camp showing last year, despite limited snaps. It also identifies DT Ruke Orhorhoro as an interior pass-rush contributor, noting that in 2025 with Atlanta he generated 30 pressures and four sacks from passing downs and ranked tied for 51st among 121 defensive tackles in PFF’s pass-rush productivity. The emphasis is on more consistent pressure up the middle.
