2026 Outlook
Caleb Ransaw was Jacksonville's first pick of the 2025 draft (third round) but missed his entire rookie year after suffering a foot injury in training camp that required season-ending surgery. He hasn't yet made his NFL debut heading into the 2026 season. The Jaguars' safety room features veteran Eric Murray and fourth-year safety Antonio Johnson, who split time as the third safety and spot starter in 2025. Ransaw appears likely to fill the third-safety role in 2026, mirroring Antonio Johnson's 2025 responsibilities. Jacksonville ran three-safety looks at a high clip in 2025; in games where Johnson played the third safety, he logged north of 40% of snaps in many contests. If Ransaw earns a similar role, he'll be a critical piece of the defense despite not being a Week 1 starter. The wait since his 2025 draft selection will finally end at training camp 2026, where he'll prove his health is restored (per 5 Most Important Backups on Jaguars' Roster: Caleb Ransaw's Value is Clear).
