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 drafted 56th to enable Strange's pass-game role in multi-TE packages.
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 emphasized the need for Boerkircher to hold up as a blocker to enable Strange to split out and face linebackers/safeties rather than edge rushers, creating schematic flexibility. 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 ability in training camp will determine the flexibility of Coen's 12 and 13 personnel packages.
