Sports Illustrated’s John Shipley reports that Jaguars TE Tanner Koziol was “the most impressive backup tight end” on Monday, with TE Nate Boerkircher (undisclosed) sidelined.

Boerkircher sat out on Monday, but we do not yet know why. Koziol looks “smooth in space” and took the advantage of his opportunities. His stand out showings as a pass-catcher have “helped him make some real progress at the start of OTAs.” Kozial was a bit of a dynasty darling in this season’s rookie draft cycle. We do not expect him to be relevant in re-draft this season, but these reports are encouraging for his long-term outlook.
