When the Jacksonville Jaguars hired Liam Coen in the offseason, the expectation was that his creative prowess as an offensive play-caller would lead to successful moments throughout the year. No one expected 13 wins—winners of nine of the final 10 games—and winning the AFC South thanks to Coen's masterful display of offensive creativity.

The Jaguars landed one tight end who benefited from this offense and made an impact on special teams as well. When Coen brought in former Buffalo Bill, Quintin Morris, he quickly became the No. 3 tight end on the roster, bringing valuable versatility, special teams skills, and athleticism to earn himself a new contract with Jacksonville.

Last week, Morris re-signed with Jacksonville on a one-year, $2 million deal, earning his spot as an integral depth piece for the Jaguars offense. On Monday, he spoke with local reporters on his return to Duval County.

When Morris arrived early in the regular season, he had a lot to learn in a complicated offense under Coen. By the middle of the season, he knew he was home, crediting his head coach for helping him during the process and allowing him to feel comfortable learning and growing around new players, coaches, and a whole new system to what he was used to in Buffalo.

"It was a lot, and he helped make that process smooth and even though there's ups and downs, it still was smooth and there was a lot to learn from, and I really felt like he did a lot as far as unlocking another part of me and really players on the team," Morris said. "He just brings that dog out of everybody.”

When a player is in his 20s, there is always room for growth as it never stops, whether it be their body, mind, or technique at their respective position. It is different for every player who comes through an organization, especially as they evolve during their career. Morris felt this way, telling reporters on Monday that there's always untapped potential now that he has become comfortable within the Jaguars offensive system.

"I think it's definitely a lot more comfortable as in the sense of just coming back being in a familiar system now, kind of understanding the coaches, understanding what we're building, understanding the offense and what we're trying to accomplish," Morris said. "And so, it's a lot less, I'd say thinking and stuff, and you can kind of really go out there and play."
