It’s been a long time since the Jacksonville Jaguars have had a featured tight end in the offense. The team has not had a player at the position catch more than 37 passes or record 350 or more receiving yards in a season since Julius Thomas in 2015 (46 receptions for 455 yards and five touchdowns). Thomas’ tenure in Jacksonville flamed out rather quickly, too.
The most productive tight end the Jaguars have had recently is Tyler Eifert, who recorded 36 catches for 349 yards and two touchdowns during the 2020 season, which was considered a disappointing campaign by many fans.
