Etienne hit the ground running within Jaguars head coach Liam Coen's offense and put together one of the best seasons of his career in 2025. Then Jacksonville let him walk in free agency. Now, Etienne is the heir apparent to veteran star Alvin Kamara in New Orleans. Kamara's production plummeted in his age-30 season in 2025, and he missed the final six games with an MCL sprain. With Kamara sustaining another sprained MCL in training camp, Etienne has a chance to seize hold of the starting job early in Year 1 within head coach Kellen Moore's offense.
