The Jacksonville Jaguars might throw to the TEs more in 2007

The QBs of the Jaguars might turn their eyes more to the tight ends in 2007 when throwing the football.  The Jags are hoping that Mercedes Lewis will have a big 2nd season and they also brought in pass catching TE Jermaine Wiggins to battle for catches.  Lewis had a rough rookie season as he played in 15 games (3 starts) and he only caught 13 passes for 126 yards (9.7 avg) with 1 TD.  Look for him to either improve on those numbers or be standing on the sideline.

George Wrighster is back for another season and that’s a good thing based on his play last season.  He played in 16 games (10 starts) last season for the Jaguars and he caught 39 passes for 353 yards (9.1 avg) with 3 TD grabs.  Wrighster has now played in 51 games (20 starts) in his NFL career and he has caught 75 passes for 692 yards (9.2 avg) with 8 TD grabs.

The Jaguars signed free agent Jermaine Wiggins to battle Lewis and Wrighster for playing time and he has had the best NFL career to date of that bunch.  He played in 16 games (3 starts) last season for the Vikings and he caught 46 passes for 386 yards (8.4 avg) with 1 TD grab.  He’s a possession receiver who catches anything near his hands but he lacks the speed to get downfield.  He has now played in 107 games (44 starts) in his NFL career and he has caught 236 passes for 2,141 yards (9.1 avg) with 14 TD grabs.
