Ranking the top 10 Jacksonville Jaguars of all time
4. Maurice Jones-Drew, RB (2006-2013)
Jones-Drew fell to the second round (60th overall) of the 2006 NFL Draft due to his 5-foot-7 stature, but it didn’t stop him from becoming one of the best players in franchise history. The former UCLA standout hit the ground running as a rookie by racking up 941 rushing yards and 13 touchdowns despite starting just one game. MJD finally earned the starting role in 2009 and rushed for 4,321 yards and 28 touchdowns over the next three seasons, including a league-high 1,606 rushing yards in 2011.
