Top 50 Jacksonville Jaguars
An expansion team in 1995, the Jacksonville Jaguars have yet to reach the Super Bowl, but this does not mean that they have not experienced levels of success.
In their second season in the NFL, the Jags made it to the AFC Championship and would do so again in 1999. After that, Jacksonville would go through multiple multi-year playoff droughts, but they would reach their third AFC Championship in 2017.
As this is a relatively young team, we expect that this list will fluctuate often in years to come.
This list is up to the end of the 2024 season.Note: Football lists are based on an amalgamation of tenure, traditional statistics, advanced statistics, playoff statistics, and post-season accolades.
