The Jacksonville Jaguars are doing their homework on one of the most athletic offensive linemen in the NFL Draft.

According to Ryan Roberts, Wisconsin offensive lineman Tanor Bortolini has undergone top-30 visits with the Jaguars, Baltimore Ravens, Minnesota Vikings, and the Green Bay Packers. Bortolini drew rave reviews for his combine performance after setting a record for interior offensive linemen with a 7.16 three-cone time.

Bortolini offers some of the best versatility in the class, starting games at left guard, center, right guard, and right tackle during his four-year college career.

Bortolini appeared in two games and started one at center in 2020 before becoming a full-time player in 2021. In his second season, Bortolini appeared in 10 games and started five (including three starts at right tackle).

In 2022, Bortolini was named Honorable Mention All-Big Ten after seven starts at left guard and three games at right guard. He was again named Honorable Mention All-Big Ten in 2023 after making 12 starts at center.

The Jaguars were active along the offensive line this offseason, signing veteran center Mitch Morse, re-signing starting left guard Ezra Cleveland, and restructuring the contract of right guard Brandon Scherff to ensure he remained on the roster.

“I feel good. The biggest thing for us is that we do have to get better in the run game.  That’s a given, even as well as TJ [RB Travis Etienne Jr.], he was a 1,000-yard rusher last year.  We still have to get better.  There’s still more on the table," Jaguars head coach Doug Pederson said about the team's offensive line at the league meetings in Orlando. "That helps your quarterback.  You’ve got to be able to run the ball in this league as well. It sets up a lot of different things for you. So that’s something as a staff we’ve been focused on this offseason. "
