Related Topics: Tight end, Marcedes Lewis

  • As the longest-tenured Jaguar — entering his 12th year with the franchise — tight end Marcedes Lewis expects to be more involved with the offense in 2017.
  • Due to missing 19 games over the past four seasons, and the team emphasizing their young receivers/signing Julius Thomas in 2015, Lewis saw his role in the passing game diminish in recent seasons.
  • With Thomas being traded to the Dolphins this offseason, Lewis has a clearer path to more targets in the passing game.
  • One place where Lewis has excelled in recent years is racking up yards after the catch.
