Much has been made this offseason of head coach Urban Meyer offering Tim Tebow an opportunity to win a job as a tight end for the Jacksonville Jaguars.

That Tebow legitimately has a chance to make a roster in 2021 speaks volume to the Jaguars’ lack of quality depth at tight end.

Jacksonville is certainly in full-fledged rebuilding mode, even after choosing Trevor Lawrence — viewed by many as a generational prospect at the quarterback position — and tight end might be in the most need of an upgrade.

In addition to Tebow, the Jaguars’ top options at tight end are Chris Manhertz, James O’Shaughnessy, and Luke Farrell, who have combined for a total of 34 catches.

Given James’ experience, and versatility to contribute as a receiver and plus-blocker, one would think he could at least push for a roster spot and perhaps a starting job for the Titans.
