Eifert Excited About Joining Jaguars

Well after spending the first seven years of his n-f-l career in cincinnati, tyler eifert is taking his talents to the sunshine state..last night the fort wayne native agreeing to a new two-year contract with the jacksonville jaguars..petar hood spoke with tyler today... announcer: "dalton has time... looking... now throwing, endzone, and it is caught!

Tyler eifert!

Are you kidding me?"narr: tyler eifert's final touchdown catch as a member of the cincinnati bengals was a memorable one.

A contested grab with no time left on the clock to help force overtime?

Seems like a pretty fitting way for eifert to end his run in the queen city..tyler eifert: "you know i really enjoyed the coaches there and my teammates, and as bad as the season was last year, i felt like we did some good things."narr: tyler, in particular, did some good things.

The former bishop dwenger star is coming off of his most productive season since 2015.

43 catches for 436 yards and three scores..

Eifert: "i think that in the limited role that i did play last year, i felt like i made an impact and made plays whenever my number was called."

Narr: those plays caught the attention of several teams as eifert entered free agency this offseason.

But ultimately it was the jaguars who landed the 29-year old tight end, thanks in large part to a familiar face...eifert: "you know i think it defintely helps that jay gruden is there.

He's the one that brought me into the league with the bengals as the offensive coordinator there, and we have a good relationship.

It just felt like a good fit."narr: eifert's excited about what his role in jacksonville's offense could look like.

But perhaps what he's most happy about as he looks ahead to next season... is the fact that he's healthy for the first time in a long time.

Eifet: "this is my first offseason where i wasn't rehabbing something, so for me, my body feels really good right now.

Instead of just tryng to rehab something to be good enough to play, i can actually work on my overall body strength, explosiveness, speed, and all of those things to be in the best shape i can going into the season."

Announcer: "annnnnd that is tyler eifert for the touchdown."narr: in fort wayne, petar hood, fox 55 sports.
