Backup Battle at Defensive End | Jacksonville Jaguars News

The Jaguars’ defensive end depth battle is heating up as they eye a younger, cheaper backup corps to support stars Travon Walker and Josh Allen. With veterans Smoot and Ogbah gone, undrafted standout Danny Striggow leads the charge with his run-stopping and special teams impact, while B.J. Green brings explosive pass-rush potential. Fourth-round pick Wesley Williams adds elite edge-setting ability, and seventh-rounder Zach Durfee offers raw athleticism. Run defense remains the key metric — and the team’s top-ranked unit last year — as these rookies vie for crucial roles. Their performance could be the difference if injuries strike, making this a pivotal camp battle for Jacksonville’s defensive identity.
