Udinski weighs in on what’s next for Jaguars WR Parker Washington in 2026

Jacksonville Jaguars‘ wide receiver Parker Washington ended the 2025 season red-hot, eclipsing the 100-yard mark in three of the team’s final four games.

As good as those performances were, however, offensive coordinator Grant Udinski wasn’t surprised by what he saw.

“I think really, really highly of Parker,” Udinski said after Tuesday’s OTAs practice. “I hope that Parker thinks really, really highly of himself in that regard too, because we think that he’s capable of what he did at the end of the season last year and more than that and I think we thought that even early in the year, where the numbers statistically may not have matched what he did at the end of the year.”

Washington’s role within the Jaguars’ offense continued to expand as the season went on, and as more opportunities came his way, Washington took advantage.

Including the postseason, Washington caught 58 passes for 847 yards with five touchdowns, according to PFF. From Weeks 14 through 18, Washington ranked tied for 12th among all receivers in receptions, and he was eighth in yards.

“It’s hard for me to truly gauge how much the expectations changed,” Udinski added, “but I would say our expectation for him moving forward and currently is to continue to grow and even do more than what he did last year. And I think you know I feel pretty confident saying I know he feels the same way. Not to say that we underachieved or he underachieved, but to know that he is a highly, highly capable player who’s capable of even more.”

Continuing to build chemistry and rapport with Trevor Lawrence this offseason in the Liam Coen offense will help Washington reach those new heights that Udinski believes he’s capable of.
