Ben Ellefson is having a productive training camp. Could he end up becoming the Jacksonville Jaguars’ starting tight end in 2021?

The Jacksonville Jaguars have a well-rounded wide receiver corps and a dynamic running back duo. However, they don’t have a true number-one tight end. Chris Manhertz is currently at the top of the depth chart and he will play a key role as a blocker in short-yardage and red-zone situations. Nevertheless, he doesn’t offer much as a receiver, hauling in just 12 receptions over the last six years.
