Boerkircher could compete with Quintin Morris for the blocking-heavy TE2 role right away. His presence also provides Liam Coen with the flexibility to utilize more three-tight-end sets — a growing trend in the NFL.
Although he had limited targets in college, the Jaguars are bullish about his ability to impact the passing game.
