When he returned in 2014, Joeckel was clearly not the same. He was credited with allowing eight sacks (almost as many as Walter Jones allowed in his career) and was often cited as one of the worst pass blockers in the NFL at the time. The Jags went 3-13 and finished dead last in points and net yards per pass attempt. Plenty of that falls on Blake Bortles, but Joeckel and the rest of the offensive line weren’t helping.

In 2015, Joeckel started 14 games at left tackle and was starting to get some praise from our JAX sister site Big Cat Country:

Luke Joeckel had the best season of his career at left tackle. He played steadily for most of the first 15 games, but then he had an absolute meltdown and played the worst game of his career in the final game against the Houston Texans. That kind of sums up Luke's career to date. Looks good for a bit but then looks horrendous out of nowhere.

In that last game against the Texans, in which the Jags lost 30-6, Bortles was sacked eight times, and the offense carried it 14 times for 32 yards. J.J. Watt got three of those sacks, while Whitney Mercilus had 3.5. To be fair, if Joeckel’s biggest problem is blocking prime J.J. Watt, I’ll take that for the Seahawks. Especially now that he’s not tasked with blocking J.J. Watt or any edge rusher.

Last season, the team announced they’d not be picking up Joeckel’s fifth-year option, and then just before the first game, moved Joeckel to left guard. He played four games there and then seriously hurt his knee in a London game against the Indianapolis Colts, ending his 2016 season. His four-game review by BCC was better than nothing:
