Boerkircher, a largely unknown tight end who took significant heat on draft night, has become a key piece to Jacksonville's offensive success despite modest box score numbers (six catches, 52 yards, one touchdown). He's become the dirty-work blocker in heavier personnel packages the team desperately missed last season, and the Jaguars now lead the NFL in EPA per play (0.205) in multi-TE sets with him playing a big role.
