23. Donovin Darius

A former Big East Defensive Player of the Year at Syracuse, Donovin Darius was a late First Round Pick by Jacksonville in 1998. 

Darius would make the All-Rookie team, and while that would be the only individual award he would net as a pro, Darius would prove to be one of the most productive tacklers in the history of the Jags' Secondary.  With the exception of his final three games as a Miami Dolphin, Darius played his entire career with the Jaguars, and he started all 115 Games that he played in Northeast Florida.  Darius had 14 Interceptions and 618 Combined Tackles for the team.
