Yahoo Sports NFL on Nate Boerkircher
From the article
Being able to provide Strange an option to go maybe split out or go block other people that maybe keep him out of some of those one-on-one big situations, I think that's going to help us tremendously.
STACKED’s take
Boerkircher's blocking ability will unlock Strange's pass-game role in Coen's multi-TE scheme.
Boerkircher, selected 56th overall in 2026 draft, is expected to earn a Week 1 role as a complementary tight end to Brenton Strange in Jacksonville's multi-tight-end offensive scheme. Head coach Liam Coen is implementing 12 and 13 personnel packages (two and three tight ends) to replace jumbo packages, and Boerkircher's primary value hinges on his ability to hold his own as a blocker, which would allow Strange to split out more and face easier matchups against linebackers and safeties rather than edge rushers. Coen stated: 'Being able to provide Strange an option to go maybe split out or go block other people that maybe keep him out of some of those one-on-one big situations, I think that's going to help us tremendously.' Nate Boerkircher's blocking competence at training camp will determine the flexibility and effectiveness of the Jaguars' offensive scheme.
