Playing a position where blocking and pass catching is not easy , but if you paid attention to the Southern Jaguars you would see a Big guy in number 42 who made it look managable. Dillon Beard and coach Dawson Odums jaguars offense  amassed over 23 hundred yards in the air this season and 000 of those yards belong to the 6’2″ Senior Tight End from Baton Rouge. Beard was ranked 10th in the conference in receiving yards per game (40.2) amongst wide receivers and remember he played tight end.
