Jacksonville Jaguars
-Fred Taylor, Mark Brunell, Maurice Jones-Drew, Jimmy Smith
Okay, okay. I know I did the joke thing with the Cleveland Browns earlier on in the list, but we’re going to treat this Mount Rushmore for the Jacksonville Jaguars right, which may upset some readers looking to get some more jokes on a lackluster team.
There aren’t a lot of positives to focus on with a Jaguars team that has made it to just two conference championships in the team’s history. However, the team has still seen some serious talent come through the ranks, specifically on offense.
To start, we’ll give someone who managed to win two Super Bowl rings elsewhere the spotlight, and we’ll get things going with Jimmy Smith. While he brought some jewelry with him from his time with the Dallas Cowboys over to the Jaguars when he joined the team in 1995, he obviously couldn’t replicate that same type of success for the team. Either way, he’s one of the few players to ever play for the Jaguars that can say they won a Super Bowl, so he makes the list.
Next up is a duo of some rushing greats in the NFL, with Fred Taylor and Maurice Jones-Drew coming in for the second and third spots. Both were incredible in the backfield for the Jaguars in the 2000s, with Jones-Drew becoming a fantasy football sensation for his time with the team. That fantasy football success is basically the lone positive to come from the team in the 21st century, so we’ll hone in on that for those two running backs.

Lastly, we’ll roll with Mark Brunell to round out the top four, mainly because of his Super Bowl ring elsewhere and his success with the team from 1995 to 2003. He made the Pro Bowl on three occasions while he was with the team, and even led the league in passing yards in 1996.
Outside of that, not much going on in Jacksonville to celebrate at the moment.
