AFC South Notes: Colts, Jaguars, Titans

Colts

Jaguars

New Jaguars TE Tyler Eifert expects to hit the ground running in terms of the teamโ€™s offense, considering that he previously worked with OC Jay Gruden back in Cincinnati. 

โ€œWe get along great,โ€ Eifert said, via John Reid of the Florida Times-Union. โ€œI had a good understanding of the offense he runs. Just having that familiarity with the offense is nice. Thereโ€™s some new stuff in here. But just being familiar with it and having a general idea of whatโ€™s going on makes it a lot easier to learn.โ€

Titans

Titans TE Jonnu Smith said heโ€™s been working with QB Ryan Tannehill this offseason and has had no limitations after dealing with a knee injury at this time last year. 

โ€œIt is definitely a great feeling, that you can just go into the offseason and get ready to work,โ€ Smith said, via Jim Wyatt of the teamโ€™s official site. โ€œThe past two years for me, in the offseason Iโ€™ve kind of been in recovery mode. This is the first season I got to actually really go at it 100 miles per hour as soon as the season ended. We lost to Kansas City (in the AFC Championship Game), and I was back working within a week-and-a-half I was so excited to get back to it. Me being able to get back to it and get back in the swing of things, it was definitely a good feeling.โ€

Smith mentioned that heโ€™s been meeting with Tannehill at a local park in South Florida to help build chemistry prior to the 2020 season. 

โ€œItโ€™s been very helpful, just building the chemistry and taking advantage of being in the same location,โ€ Smith said. โ€œWeโ€™re just trying to get ahead and continuing to work on our craft so we can improve any way we can. Itโ€™s been great weโ€™ve been able to get that work in, and Iโ€™m sure it will put us in a good position during the season.โ€
