In three years with Jacksonville, Kirk caught 168 passes for 2,274 yards and 12 touchdowns. He played in 56 games, battling injuries that shortened his last two seasons.
Kirk was a top-target for Trevor Lawrence during his first season in as he set career-best marks in several statistical categories. However, with the emergence of Brian Thomas Jr. and Kirk's injuries, the club opted to move on from the pass catcher.
