One was a failed football player (who had never played TE) who turned to baseball to stay relevant, where he also failed. At that point the worst coach in the history of NFL football stupidly decided to give him a tryout - and he  - wait for it - failed again. 

The other is a young man currently in the middle of a professional football career as a TE. He makes 1000% more sense as a camp body for a TE room with little depth than someone completely removed from the sport by years who never even played the position.

If you add “and who wouldn’t be getting a look at the Jags if he weren’t the coach’s son” then your perspective would be in focus.  The harder you work to make it seem like being the coaches son has nothing to do with him turning up at the Jags instead of any other NFL team (who have no idea who he is), the more you dig the hole.

I could care less about him.  But I am humoured by ease with which this board decides principle based on expediency.

Meh

You're trying to make something out of nothing.
Virtual nobodies get added to rosters this time of year on the reg.

Here are the TEs ahead of him:

Evan Engram
Brenton Strange
Luke Farrell
Gerritt Prince
Sammis Reyes
Leonard Taylor

If he somehow beats out four of those guys (and the potential H-Back/FB candidate) for a roster spot and one of them goes on to a better career, I'll happily bow in acceptance to your premature cries of nepotism. 
For now - it seems rather innocuous.
