What happened: Jaguars punter Logan Cooke spent part of the offseason on a community visit to a Northeast Florida farm as Jacksonville turns toward the 2026 campaign. It is the kind of low-profile spot most fans never think about until a bad shank or a booming flip of the field swings a game.

Cooke's steadiness in that role is exactly why the position deserves more credit than it usually gets.
