"Cory Grant. Always had flashes but was always behind high draft picks. Also fought injury. Always felt the Coaching Staff underrated his talent level," said one fan.

"George Wrister & Earnest Willford. Both had guaranteed hands and love to block. Busch Drive Rich," added another fan.

James Robinson held it down in the backfield during his Jaguars career. When many did not expect to see much from him, he proved everyone wrong. He was a top back during his time in Jacksonville.
