From the article

Ossenfort worked out a trade with the Jacksonville Jaguars for tight end Hunter Long, who is a big dude at 6'-5", 243 pounds. But don't expect his size to instantly become a red-zone target. He hasn't been to date. He is strictly a skinny offensive lineman, meaning a tight end who can block.

STACKED’s take

NeutralRole

Long acquired in trade; blocking specialist, not a receiving threat in red zone.

Acquired via trade from Jacksonville Jaguars; 6'-5", 243 pounds. Despite his size, he is not expected to be a red-zone target. He is a blocking-focused tight end (skinny offensive lineman type) with five years in the league and just 20 catches for 153 yards. Ideal for Mike LaFleur's offense in 12 or 13 personnel packages; Trey McBride and Elijah Higgins will handle receptions.
