Ex Commanders Receiver Can Help Save Former Top Pick
Ex Commanders Receiver Can Help Save Former Top Pick originally appeared on Athlon Sports. On paper, Dyami Brown's fourth season with the Washington Commanders wasn't anything to get overly excited about. The former third-round pick caught 30 passes for just over 300 yards in 16 appearances last season. Advertisement Despite the low numbers, Brown earned a one-year, $10 million deal with the Jacksonville Jaguars in free agency. Washington was able to upgrade easily when Brown walked. Early in the offseason, they traded for All-Pro receiver Deebo Samuel to bolster their receiving core. However, Jacksonville isn't too concerned about what Brown brings to the table. They want to surround former top overall pick Trevor Lawrence with any semblance of competent receivers. And multiple analysts are commending them for it. On the Move the Sticks podcast with Daniel Jeremiah, Bucky Brooks clarified how important Brown can be for Jacksonville. Advertisement "Brown, who joined via a one-year, $10 million pact this offseason, is the kind of deep-ball weapon this team desperately needed on the outside," Brooks continues. "It's true that his regular-season production has not matched his potential to this point; the 2021 third-rounder dwarfed previous career highs with just 30 catches and 308 receiving yards in Washington last season." Brooks spoke glowingly about Brown's big-play ability over the last few years. With a new offensive-minded head coach in Liam Coen, the Jaguars should be able to use Brown's skill set well. For Washington, there's a good chance they won't miss Brown. The passing game is as good as ever, and the receiving room has suddenly become rich with talent. It could be a win-win for both sides in 2025.

NFL linebacker Chad Muma returns to his high school, hosts mini-camp for kids living with Type 1 diabetes
An NFL linebacker who grew up in Colorado returned to the high school he attended on Friday. Chad Muma, who plays for the Jacksonville Jaguars, hosted mini-camp for kids living with Type 1 diabetes. It's a cause that's close to his heart; Muma also lives with Type 1 diabetes. It was held at Legend High School in Broomfield. Muma's foundation is called Muma Movement. The camp featured football-inspired skill stations and other activities. The goal was to empower youth living with Type 1 diabetes. "(I want to) let kids know that their condition does not limit them. The diabetes does not limit them or prohibit them from achieving any of the goals that they want to accomplish in their life, whether it's sports or a different profession," Muma said. The camp also included educational sessions for the kids and their caregivers as well.

Trevor Lawrence, Jacksonville Jaguars passing offense finding groove in red zone in OTAs
Trevor Lawrence remains in learning mode as he transitions to Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Liam Coen's offense. The changes Lawrence must make to his footwork, drops and timing are significant enough to have a learning curve. But, through seven Organized Team Activities, it appears he's making strides in one of the more critical portions of the field: the red zone. Advertisement During the team's OTA No. 7, Lawrence consistently completed touchdowns to multiple players, including receivers Brian Thomas Jr. and Travis Hunter and tight end Brenton Strange, among others. The strong performance is a key indicator of future success, but the work will continue throughout the offseason and into the regular season. Coen has already seen the improvement. NATURAL: Travis Hunter flashes 'natural' corner skills in Jacksonville Jaguars OTAs 'I think he's actually done a really nice job in the red zone. Looking back to the first time we did it last Friday, I think he made some quick decisions. Everything is sped up in the red area. The timing, the rhythm, the space — it's all tighter. It's all sped up. I think he has done a nice job with his footwork in the red zone understanding that concept," Coen said Monday. Advertisement After the team's first OTA of the offseason in May, Lawrence said the work he and the team are doing to adjust his footwork and timing could take some time, but he's already getting more comfortable. "It was foreign to me a little bit in the end, but now it feels more comfortable. Then having a ton of banked reps through all of the weeks in Phase 1, Phase 2 and now onto OTA practices. I am feeling more and more comfortable. I think it is really going to help me. I feel more confident with my feet aligned where I want to go," Lawrence said at the time. Jacksonville's red zone offense could use some work. Though they ranked 13th in the league last year in terms of converting red-zone appearances into touchdowns, the franchise rarely made it and struggled at times to convert. Jacksonville ranked tied for 21st in the league in red-zone attempts per game at 2.9. Cleveland ranked last with 2.2, while Detroit came in first at 4.3. Lawrence played in just 10 games, but completed only 45.9% of his passes for 150 yards, 10 touchdowns and an interception in the red zone last year. In the seven other games, former Jags QB Mac Jones completed 56% of his passes for 98 yards and five touchdowns last year. Advertisement STICKING AROUND: Trevor Lawrence laughs off Steelers trade rumor, talks Liam Coen In total, Jacksonville completed 31 of 62 (50%) of passes for 248 yards, 15 touchdowns and one interception in the red zone. On its face, Jacksonville's red-zone passing offense doesn't look bad. Still, Lawrence ranked 35th in the league last year in red-zone passing attempts. Combined with Jones, the team as a whole would have ranked tied for 31st in completion percentage among quarterbacks who attempted at least 20 passes in the red zone. Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence (16) passes during the seventh organized team activity at the Miller Electric Center in Jacksonville, Fla. Monday, June 2, 2025. [Doug Engle/Florida Times-Union] For perspective, Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB Baker Mayfield completed 60 of 80 (75%) of his passes for 415 yards, 28 touchdowns and two interceptions inside the 20 last year. Advertisement Jacksonville's red-zone woes aren't truly felt until taking a peek at the team's rushing stats. Jacksonville converted just 11 touchdowns on the ground in the red zone last year. That included five from backup RB Tank Bigsby, three from Lawrence, two from RB Travis Etienne and one from Jones. Still, with an improved passing game in 2025, the Jaguars should be able to showcase their ground game more effectively, rather than becoming one-dimensional. Lawrence said the transition could take some time, but Jacksonville has plenty of it before the regular season starts. "Ultimately, good teams in the red zone are able to run the football into the end zone," said Coen. "It's hard to do that in this setting as a lot of it is geared towards practicing the pass game, the timing, the rhythm, the protections — understanding when zero blitz is coming versus drop eight, those are the things we are getting work at. I think he has done a nice job executing in that area so far.' Advertisement Demetrius Harvey is the Jacksonville Jaguars reporter for the Florida Times-Union.
