Jacksonville Jaguars 2021 training camp preview: Offensive line
The Jacksonville Jaguars will host several O-Line hopefuls.
Here’s a list of all the offensive linemen on the Jaguars’ 90-man roster, in no particular order:
- Cam Robinson
- Andrew Norwell
- Brandon Linder
- A.J. Cann
- Jawaan Taylor
- Tyler Shatley
- Ben Bartch
- Walker Little
- Will Richardson
- KC McDermott
- Garrett McGhin
- Tre’Vour Wallace-Simms
- Derwin Gray
There is some intriguing talent on that list. Tyler Shatley holds value as a reserve offensive lineman. He’s been with the team since 2014 and appeared in all 16 games with 10 starts last season. He can play both guard positions and center, so it made sense for the Jaguars to bring him back earlier this year.
Former Division III offensive lineman Ben Bartch also started one game and showed promise in his rookie campaign. Alas, he finished the year on the Reserve/COVID-19 list. He’s the kind of developmental project that could become a solid starter in the NFL.
KC McDermott signed with the Jags as an undrafted free agent last offseason and played 22 special teams snaps in 2020. Tre’Vour Wallace-Sims went through a similar situation last year. The Missouri product also landed in Jacksonville after going undrafted and played ten special teams snaps.
The Jaguars claimed Garrett McGhin off waivers last offseason. The Florida native joined the Buffalo Bills as an undrafted free agent undrafted in 2019. He signed with the Carolina Panthers the same year and appeared in two games. Will Richardson has been the primary backup at offensive tackle the last few years. After missing his rookie campaign with a knee injury, he’s appeared in 31 games with three starts over the last two seasons.
Then, there’s Derwin Gray. A 2019 seventh-round pick, the Maryland product the majority of his first year in the NFL with the Pittsburgh Steelers. He was waived late in the season and claimed by the Jaguars.
