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.

Signed as a marquee free agent in 2003, former Florida Gators standout Mike Peterson arrived in Jacksonville after four productive seasons with the rival Indianapolis Colts. Stepping straight into the middle linebacker spot, Peterson brought fiery leadership and sideline-to-sideline range to North Florida, immediately serving as the operational quarterback for defensive coordinator Mike Smith's unit. Peterson wasted no time making…
Selected first overall in the 2021 NFL Draft following a legendary collegiate career at Clemson—where he won a national championship and went 34–2 as a starter—Trevor Lawrence arrived in North Florida heralded as a generational, franchise-altering talent. Thrust into a tumultuous rookie environment under Urban Meyer, Lawrence faced immediate baptism by fire. Despite leading the NFL with 17 interceptions during…
Before the 2003 NFL Draft, Vince Manuwai made headlines at the combine by bench-pressing 225 pounds 35 times, signaling the sheer functional strength he brought from Hawaii to North Florida. Placed into the starting lineup at left guard as a third-round pick (72nd overall), he adapted instantly to the speed of the professional game, starting 12 contests as a rookie…
Fresh off a 1997 national championship season at Michigan, offensive tackle Maurice Williams was selected by Jacksonville in the second round (43rd overall) of the 2001 NFL Draft. Placed right into the fire, the 6-foot-5 lineman claimed the starting right tackle spot in training camp and went on to start all 16 games as a rookie. Williams became a bedrock…
Before securing the biggest contract in Jacksonville franchise history at the time, offensive tackle Leon Searcy established his credentials as a three-time national champion at the University of Miami and a starter for the Pittsburgh Steelers in Super Bowl XXX. Signing with the Jaguars in 1996 as the prized target of their free-agent class, the former first-round pick brought immediate…
A former Big East Defensive Player of the Year at Syracuse, Donovin Darius was a late First Round Pick by Jacksonville in 1998. 
There was a lot of hope in Jacksonville when they drafted Blake Bortles third overall in 2014, and while there were ups and downs, it might be safe to say that the former AAC Offensive Player of the Year did not turn out to be the right fit for the Jaguars.
Telvin Smith came to the Jaguars as a draft pick from his in-state alumni, Florida State.
Chris Naeole played his first five seasons in pro football with the New Orleans Saints before signing with the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2002. 
Josh Scobee played with the Jacksonville Jaguars for the first 11 of his 12 NFL seasons, and he was a reliable Place Kicker during that time.  Scobee would lead the NFL in Field Goal Percentage in 2007, and he would later tie the record of 50 plus yard Field Goals in a game with three.
Tyson Alaalu came from Hawaii to the University of California, and from there, he became one of the many star Polynesian players to enter the National Football League.

Aaron Beasley had a slow start as he only played 9 Games in each of his first two seasons after being drafted in the 3rd Round out of West Virginia.  That would change in 1998 when he got healthy, and the year after, the Cornerback had six Interceptions and led the NFL in Interception Return Yards (200).  
James Stewart had better seasons ahead with the Detroit Lions, but he was a serviceable Running Back during his time with Jacksonville.
After four years with the Houston Oilers/Tennessee Titans, Gary Walker joined the Jacksonville Jaguars in 1999, where he played for three years.
