Yes, we know that this is taking a while!

As many of you know, we here at Notinhalloffame.com are slowly generating the 50 of each major North American sports team.  That being said, we have existing Top 50 lists out and we always consistently look to update them when we can and based on necessity.  As such, we are very happy to present our post-2021 revision of our top 50 Jacksonville Jaguars.

As for all of our top 50 players in football we look at the following: 

1.  Advanced Statistics.

2.  Traditional statistics and how they finished in the National Football League. 

3.  Playoff accomplishments.

4.  Their overall impact on the team and other intangibles not reflected in a stat sheet.

Last year, the Jaguars were abysmal, finishing last overall with a 3-14 record, and a team this bad is not expected to have anyone new in a top 50, and they didn’t, though there was one elevation.

As always, we present our top five:

1. Jimmy Smith

2. Fred Taylor

3. Tony Boselli

4. Mark Brunell

5. Maurice Jones-Drew

You can find the entire list here.

The only rise was Linebacker, Myles Jack, who played his last season with the Jaguars last year, as he is now a Pittsburgh Steeler.  He moved up to #35 from #38.

We welcome your input and comments and as always, we thank you for your support.

Ryan Anderson

Ryan Anderson was a late First Round Pick (21st Overall) from California in 2008 by the New Jersey Nets, and after playing there only one year, he was traded to Orlando, where in 2011/12, he was named the Most Improved Player in the NBA.    Anderson, who led the league in 3-Point Field Goals that year, never built on that season, and he arguably never had a better season.

Anderson continued his career with New Orleans, Houston, Phoenix, and Miami retired after the 2019-20 Season and is currently in the top 100 all-time in Offensive Rating.

Kyle Korver

Kyle Korver was a two-time Mountain Valley Conference Player of the Year at Creighton, but it was not expected that he would have a long career as a professional, and thus, he slid down late in the Second Round.

Initially drafted by the Nets but traded to Sixers afterward, Korver established his worth as a long-range sharpshooter, leading the NBA in that stat four times, becoming the first player to do so.  Also, a two-time leader in True Shooting Percentage, Korver retired ranked in the top twenty-five in Free Throw Percentage, 3-Point Field Goal Percentage, Effective Field Goal Percentage, and True Shooting Percentage, and he also had productive seasons with Utah, Chicago, and Atlanta, the latter of which saw him make his lone All-Star Game (2015).

Korver was not a player who would be a major star in the NBA, nor was he a complete player, but in the proper role, his contributions to a team were invaluable.

J.R. Smith

J.R. Smith will best be known as an eccentric individual whose penchant for bad on-court decision-making cost his team a Finals Game, but he was still a coveted role player for years who won two NBA Championships; Cleveland in 2016 and Los Angeles in 2020.

Smith’s individual highlights include finishing in the top ten four times in 3-Point Field Goals, winning the 2013 Sixth Man of the Year, and earning three consecutive Rookie of the Month Awards in 2005.  He won’t make the Hall, but he is more famous than many who did.
