, a linebacker, bring their own upsides with them as two of the Jaguars’ biggest free agent additions on defense.
Fatukasi established himself as a very strong run defender in his four years with the Jets and has the ability to be a big-time disruptor up the middle. He won’t be a big sacks guy like, say, Aaron Donald is for the Los Angeles Rams as a D-lineman, but Fatukasi will be very valuable in clogging up running lanes and forcing blockers toward him to give the edge rushers less trouble on the outside.
Oluokun, meanwhile, is a tackling monster that came over from the Atlanta Falcons in free agency. His 192 tackles in 2021 led the NFL and has had the highest tackle rate—he’s made a tackle on 16.6% of his defensive snaps—of all players since entering the league in 2018. Not only that, but the linebacker is coming off of a season in which he had a career-low missed tackle rate at 5.4%; he had just 11 missed tackles all of last year.
The Jaguars look poised to have a strong season up front with those guys alone, and that was all without mentioning the players they already have in their defensive front seven. Edge rusher Josh Allen has been a monster in his three years with the Jaguars , and nose tackle DaVon Hamilton ranked in the NFL’s top 10 in run stop win rate in 2021 .
With Walker, Lloyd, Fatukasi, Oluokun, Allen, and Hamilton all within Jacksonville’s front seven this year, there’s tons to be excited about in Duval County. The Jaguars seem poised to take a step forward on defense this year with that strong unit up front. If Lawrence and the offense can get going now that new, offensive-minded head coach Doug Pederson is at the helm, Jacksonville may start seeing a light at the end of the rebuilding tunnel as soon as this year.
