Selected in the fifth round (137th overall) of the 2004 NFL Draft out of Louisiana Tech, Josh Scobee stepped into Jacksonville and immediately became one of the Jaguars’ strongest and most reliable right legs in professional football. Armed with massive leg power and an ice-cold demeanor in clutch situations, the Texas native took over placekicking duties as a rookie and anchored the Jaguars' special teams unit for over a decade.

Scobee built a reputation throughout his 11-year run in North Florida as a long-distance specialist and division-rival assassin, particularly against the Indianapolis Colts. In 2007, he led the NFL in field goal accuracy during a high-efficiency season, connecting on 12 of 13 attempts (92.3%). His signature single-game performance arrived on Monday Night Football in October 2011 against the Baltimore Ravens, when he tied an NFL record by drilling three field goals of 50 or more yards (54, 54, and 51 yards) to single-handedly account for all of Jacksonville's points in a 12–7 victory.

Beyond his long-range consistency, Scobee produced some of the most memorable walk-off moments in franchise history. His defining triumph occurred on October 3, 2010, when he stepped up in the final seconds against Peyton Manning’s Colts and blasted a franchise-record 59-yard game-winning field goal as time expired.

Durable and steady across 168 regular-season games in teal, black, and gold, Scobee eclipsed the 1,000-point plateau in 2014 before concluding his NFL career with brief stints in Pittsburgh and New Orleans. As a Jaguar, Scobee made 35 field goals on 291 attempts (80.8%), 317 extra points on 322 attempts (98.4%), and 1,022 total points.
