Farrell is a 5th round pick who had 12 total receptions in college, pure blocking TE.

He should easily beat him out at least.

I'd think a QB would be able to grasp route running pretty quickly. Logan Thomas did. Edelman made the transition to receiver well too.

Blocking is one of the toughest things about playing TE.

Logan Thomas made the switch in 2016. These things take time.

Fact Urban Meyer has never won a championship in Florida without Tim Tebow. Fact Jacksonville is in Florida. Fact bears eat beets.

Re: Around the NFL: NFL Offseason

Expect Tebow to also play fullback and get goal line carries. Runs and even passes off jet sweeps could happen.

He'll be a gimmick player, a lot like Taysom Hill. To think Urban will only use him as a traditional tight end is foolish.

It may not always work, but it should be fun to watch.

Re: Around the NFL: NFL Offseason

Wonder how long it will take Urban Meyer and Trevor Lawrence to get tired of losing. Lawrence will have lost more games in the first 6 weeks in the NFL than his entire HS and college career. Will one or two bad losing years for Urban Meyer make him throw the towel in ala Steve Spurrier

Re: Around the NFL: NFL Offseason

The Jags could have a sneaky good offense assuming Lawrence hits the ground running.

Travis Etienne and James Robinson might be the best 1-2 RB duo in the NFL

Add in Lawrence, Tebow and at WR they have DJ Chark, Marvin Jones and Phillip Dorsett.

Agree with all players except for Tebow.. It's laughable for anyone to expect anything from Tebow at this point. The Jags offense will be interesting to watch this fall.

They might be in the easiest division. Indy is okay. Tennessee can't play D and Houston is in turmoil

Re: Around the NFL: NFL Offseason

I think the Jags could have some success early...ala Chip Kelly when he took over the eagles and even with RGIII to an extent. The offense will be somewhat unique and different, so it will take part of the season for defenses to get a hold on it...assuming Lawrence plays decent. If they have both their games against Houston and a few other bottom division teams in the first 8 games, they could be 4-4 I think. They'll be interesting if nothing else...which is something they haven't been in a long time.

I will always have fond memories of 2012.

IMO I think the success could have been more long term if:
a. RG3 wasn't such a diva and wanted to be exclusively a pocket passer
b. He didn't suffer a debilitating injury trying to be a pocket passer in the playoff game

Kyle was the right coach with the right mindset what a shame. Hard to believe that was almost a decade ago
