Brenton Strange 'definitely ready' to step up as Jaguars' TE1: 'I know I'm capable'

Brenton Strange is poised for a breakout season with the Jacksonville Jaguars as he steps into the starting tight end role following Evan Engram's departure. Having shown promise during Engram's injury absences, Strange made notable contributions with 40 catches and two touchdowns last season. Now, with less competition in the tight end depth chart, he aims to solidify his position under new head coach Liam Coen. Strange is focused on becoming a well-rounded player, emphasizing improvements in both receiving and blocking to boost Jacksonville’s offense. His growth is crucial for the Jaguars, who aim to enhance their passing game alongside key players like Brian Thomas Jr. and Travis Hunter to support quarterback Trevor Lawrence. Strange embraces the challenge, viewing his journey as part of a larger learning process, and is ready to seize his opportunity to shine.
