The Jacksonville Jaguars had at least one player (Chris Manhertz) attend last season’s Tight End University meeting hosted by Travis Kelce, George Kittle, and Greg Olsen. This season, they will have at least one player in attendance again in free-agent addition Evan Engram, who signed with the Jags on March 16.
The event’s official Twitter page confirmed that he’d be attending this year as it is set to take place from June 22 to 24 at Vanderbilt University.

(Note: The school they meant to tag was Ole Miss)
The event is one where several of the league’s top tight ends will meet to learn techniques from each other to help improve their craft on the field. Other notables who will attend include Mike Gesicki, Kyle Pitts, and Dalton Knox, to name a few.
It’s good to see that Engram will be using his time off before training camp well as he will get to learn a thing or two from the top players at the tight end position. That’s important because the Jags are undoubtedly expecting big things from him and are hoping he can be their TE1 heading forward.
Jaguars backup quarterback C.J. Beathard was also supposed to attend to help with workouts, but that seems unlikely now that he sustained a groin injury in organized team activities this week.
