Long's first season in Jacksonville resulted in his best season as a pass catcher, as he logged 12 receptions on 17 targets for 85 yards and two touchdowns over nine regular-season games. However, he played in only one game after Week 9, initially because of injuries and then due to a series of healthy scratches. The Jaguars' tight-end room got deeper with the addition of Nate Boerkircher in the second round of this year's draft and Tanner Koziol in the fifth round, so Long isn't guaranteed a roster spot.
