The days of dominant tight end play in this division seem to be a thing of the past, at least entering the 2020 season. With no notable and dominant targets at the position, the AFC South is full of players that can make an argument for the top spot.
Some have solidified spots on their team but are simply lacking in explosiveness. Others are explosive yet unproven. Some simply are trying to keep their careers going.
Here, we rank the tight ends in the AFC South:
5. Tyler Eifert, Jacksonville Jaguars
Nobody can deny Eifert’s talent, but his inability to stay on the field has landed him in Jacksonville. The former Bengal played in all 16 games last year, but saw a significant decline in production. As the Jaguars look to rebuild their offense, we will see if Eifert is included in those plans.
Eifert has shown he can be a strong red-zone threat, evident by his 13 touchdowns in 2015. But that was five years ago. He’s simply trying to continue his career in a wasteland for tight ends.
