The Jacksonville Jaguars have welcomed back one of their most enduring players in franchise history.
On Friday, the Jaguars announced the re-signing of veteran offensive lineman Tyler Shatley, marking his return for an impressive 11th season with the team. Shatley, originally signed as an undrafted free agent in May 2014, has become a cornerstone of the Jaguars’ offensive line.
Throughout his tenure with the Jaguars, Shatley has showcased remarkable durability, appearing in 145 games and currently holding the franchise record for the most consecutive games played, with an impressive streak of 140 games. His consistent performance on the field earned him recognition as the Jaguars’ nominee for the Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year award during the 2022 season.
Jaguars general manager Trent Baalke expressed confidence in this year’s offensive line class, emphasizing the value available throughout the draft. Baalke highlighted the potential for starters to emerge even in the later rounds, emphasizing the importance of patience and development in nurturing talent.
Shatley’s return adds stability and experience to the Jaguars’ roster as they continue to build for the future. With his leadership and tenacity, Shatley will undoubtedly play a crucial role in the team’s success in the upcoming season.
