Take a look below at every one of the targets that Jacksonville Jaguars’ tight end Brenton Strange had during the 2024 season.
Strange assumed a much larger role in 2024 compared to his rookie year in 2023. When it was all said and done, Strange was targeted 54 times, catching 40 of those passes for 411 yards with two touchdowns.
Of note, Strange ranked 17th out of 45 eligible tight ends in yards per route run, an efficiency metric from Pro Football Focus.
The Jaguars’ organization is extremely bullish on Strange this season, who now sits atop the team’s tight end depth chart. That in itself will lead to more opportunities, but within Liam Coen’s offense, the tight end is a key part of the passing game.
Last season, with Coen calling the plays in Tampa Bay, Bucs’ tight end Cade Otton finished the year with 84 targets, which was the ninth-most among all tight ends in the NFL.
Along with Strange’s ability to impact the game as a pass-catcher, he’s also versatile, able to line up across the formation, and he’s a capable run-blocker as well. When a tight end can fill a variety of roles, it adds a level of unpredictability to an offense.
