gold star for USAHOF

2023 Pre-Season Rank Unranked.  Peak Period: 2019-23

Josh Hines-Allen is coming off his best season, where he was second in Quarterback Sacks (17.5) and had career-bests in Combined Tackles (66), Tackles for Loss (17), and Quarterback Hits (33).  This gave him his second Pro Bowl, the first coming in his 2019 rookie campaign.

Yes, we know that this is taking a while!

As many of you know, we at Notinhalloffame.com are slowly generating the top 50 of each major North American sports team. That being said, we have existing Top 50 lists and consistently look to update them when necessary and based on necessity. As such, we are delighted to present our post-2023 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 that are not reflected in a stat sheet.

Last year, the Jaguars got off to great start, but faltered and fell out of the playoffs.   Nevertheless, with an organization this young you can see shifts, and we have three new entrants.

As always, we present our top five, which saw no changes:

1. Jimmy Smith
2. Fred Taylor
3. Tony Boselli
4. Mark Brunell
5. Maurice Jones-Drew

You can find the entire list here.

The first new entry is Trevor Lawrence, the former number one overall pick and a former Pro Bowl Selection.

Two-time Pro Bowl Linebacker Josh Hines-Allen enters the list at #43.

Left Tackle Cam Robinson makes his debut at #47.

Defensive End Joel Smeenge, Nose Tackle Seth Payne, and Punter Bryan Barker have fallen off the list.

We thank you for your continued support of our lists on Notinhalloffame.com.

In his final year at Kentucky (2018), Josh Hines-Allen was the best Linebacker in the nation, winning the Chuck Bednarik Award, Bronko Nagurski Trophy, Jack Lambert Trophy, and SEC Defensive Player of the Year.  This success propelled him to the seventh overall pick in the 2019 Draft, landing with the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Hines-Allen was an All-Rookie and Pro Bowl Selection, becoming the first Jaguar rookie to make the Pro Bowl.  He also led his team in Sacks (10.5).  His second season was disappointing as he missed half of it with an injury, but the pass-rusher would rebound, and in 2023 Hines-Allen had career-highs in Sacks (17.5), Tackles for Loss (17), and Quarterback Hits (33).  This season would earn him his second Pro Bowl.

Entering 2024 with 45 career Sacks, Hines-Allen will need to build on 2023 to make a run for the top twenty on this list.
