Certainly there have been some policies recently-named Sam Laporta Lions and Brock Bowers from Raiders-En dense ending, the situation usually requires several periods to occur before truly flowering.
Strange seems to rise in ranks at exactly the right time and get together in shape but still evolves on the way to the 3rd year.
“I think I have room to grow for sure,” he said. “And I have space everywhere. It’s not just as a receiver. It’s a blocker, being a leader in this team, I have so much more space to grow. I’m excited. It’ll be challenging, but I’m doing the challenge. I know I’m capable.”
Beyond his potential contribution in the air, Strange speaks a big deal about opening lanes for Jacksonville’s Run Game. His service and ongoing improvements that block the block will be greatly needed in that regard – Jags ended in 26th place in the rush meters in 2024 – but his mindset is certainly in the right place.
“I want to be perfect dense and at the end of the day it’s just like putting your will,” Strange said of the importance of being able to close well. “When you’re closing, like going there and putting your will over someone and you do it over and over again, they will break down finally. It’s one of my favorite things, just to be completely dense and be asked to do everything.”
If the young dense end continues on its path that was given more responsibility, the Jaguars could be exploring to make a wonderful passing trio of Strange, Thomas and no.
