I’m just gonna dive right in to it...

The Jaguars have had a total of 33 Tight Ends from 1995 to present day to collect a stat. Of those 33 players only 17 have scored a TD. A 125 total touchdowns have been scored by a TE.

Nic Jacobs, Ben Koyak, Brian Jones, Richard Angulo, Derek Brown, Danny Noble, Nick O’Leary, ASJ all have 1 TD each. 

The Jaguars have had a Tight End go over 100 yards in a single game just 5 times. Kyle Brady is the only TE to do it twice.

The most receiving yards ever recorded in a single game by a Jaguar TE:

Mitchell 161 yards on 10 catches
Brady 138 yards on 10 catches 
Thomas 116 yards on 9 catches 
Brady 111 yards on 8 catches 
Lewis 103 yards on 7 catches 

We’ve only sent 1 player to the Pro Bowl as a TE which was Lewis in 2010. 

Statistically, the player with the best year was Kyle Brady back in the year 2000. He had 64 receptions for 729 yards and 3 TD’s, however Lewis had his best year in 2010 where he had 58 receptions for 700 yards and 10 TD’s.

The most receptions in a game by a Jaguar TE was set by 2 players. Brady and Mitchell.

Of the 33 Tight Ends to ever play for the Jaguars, 16 never scored a TD.

Of the 5 times a Jaguars TE went over the 100 yds receiving mark, only once did we win the game. That was in the year 2000 when Brady posted 10 catches for 138 yards at Dallas. The other 4 times we lost the game.



Josh Oliver really has a chance to put his mark on this franchise. It’s a pass happy league these days. Heck, both Lewis and Brady were known as being better blockers than receivers and they are our 2 best TE’s of all time.

Great post.  

When I read the thread title, my thought was, "Well that shouldn't take up much space."  But you did a really nice job with it.  

It's amazing how little production we've gotten out of that very important position over the history of our franchise.
