Jaguars fan favorite seasons: 2017

We are getting closer to the Jacksonville Jaguars’ regular season kickoff. To help count the days down, I thought it would be a good time to look at previous seasons. I asked on Twitter and Facebook what you consider the Jaguars’ best season. Of course, I received a lot of “1999” and “2017” answers, but there was also a mix of “1995”, “1996”, “1997”, and “2007”. I previously highlighted the 1997 season when we were 97 days away from the regular season kickoff, and we’ve covered 1995, 1996, 1999, and 2007, so let’s finish with the 2017 season.

During the 2017 NFL Draft, the Jaguars selected (in draft order): RB Leonard Fournette, OT Cam Robinson, DE Dawuane Smoot, WR Dede Westbrook, LB Blair Brown, DB Jalen Myrick, and RB Marquez Williams. DL Calais Campbell, CB A.J. Bouye, SS Barry Church, OT Branden Albert, LB Lerentee McCray, OL Earl Watford, DT Stefan Charles, WR Bryan Walters, OL Patrick Omameh, and LB Audie Cole were signed during free agency.

The team was coached by Doug Marrone and finished the regular season with a record of 10-6 and 1st place in the AFC South. The defense ran a 4-3 alignment. The Jaguars ended the preseason with a record of 2-2. EverBank Field averaged 64,303 attendees per game and had a season total of 514,427 attendees.
