It was an overall disappointing season for Jacksonville, but one of the few bright spots was the play of tight end Dan Arnold. The position was arguably the team’s biggest need heading into last offseason, and it didn’t do much to address it aside from drafting Luke Farrell, who is primarily a blocker, in the fifth round.
That changed three weeks into the regular season when the team acquired Arnold in a trade with the Carolina Panthers. He finished with 324 yards on 28 catches, and though he didn’t find the end zone, he had five games in which he surpassed 50 receiving yards.
His season was ultimately cut short with an injury, but he proved to be one of the more versatile tight ends in the league, ranking among the top five in routes run from the slot or out wide.
