The Jacksonville Jaguars have 30 seasons in the books. Let’s debate their greatest players at every position.
The Jacksonville Jaguars are preparing for their 31st season as an NFL franchise.
To commemorate their history — and to provide content during the dry part of the offseason — we’d like your help in naming the team’s greatest players at every position.
Here are the nominees for Jacksonville’s All-Time Kicker.
Mike Hollis (1995-01)
Stats: 175 field goals made, 80.6% field goal percentage, 98.8% extra point percentage, 23 Approximate Value
Bio: An original Jaguar, Hollis served as the team’s kicker from 1995 to 2001 and remains among the most accurate in franchise history. He scored over 700 points during his Jacksonville career and set a then-team record with a 59-yard field goal in 2001. Hollis still ranks among the franchise leaders in field goals made and points scored.
Josh Scobee (2004-14)
Stats: 235 field goals made, 80.8% field goal percentage, 98.4% extra point percentage, 32 Approximate Value
Bio: Drafted in the fifth round in 2004, Scobee became one of the most clutch kickers in team history. He made 235 career field goals with the Jaguars, including a franchise-record 59-yarder in 2010 to beat the Colts. Scobee played 11 seasons in Jacksonville, finishing as the franchise’s all-time leading scorer.
Josh Lambo (2017-21)
Stats: 76 field goals made, 91.6% field goal percentage, 90.1% extra point percentage, 18 Approximate Value
Bio: Signed midseason in 2017, Lambo immediately stabilized the kicking game and became one of the most accurate kickers in the NFL. He connected on 76 of 80 field goals during his first three seasons in Jacksonville, including a perfect 19-for-19 in 2019. Injuries derailed his later years, but at his peak, Lambo was among the most reliable kickers in team history.

Now, here are the nominees for Jacksonville’s All-Time Punter.
Bryan Barker (1995-00)
Stats: 19,849 punt yards, 43.5 yards per punt, 37.2 net yards per punt, 15 Approximate Value
Bio: The Jaguars’ first punter, Barker joined the team in 1995 and held the role for seven seasons. Known for his consistency and directional accuracy, he punted over 500 times for Jacksonville and played a key role in the team’s playoff runs of the late ’90s.
Logan Cooke (2018-present)
Stats: 22,188 punt yards, 47.4 yards per punt, 43.6 net yards per punt, 20 Approximate Value
Bio: Drafted in 2018, Cooke quickly established himself as one of the NFL’s best young punters. He set multiple franchise records for net average and he pinned opponents inside the 20 with regularity. Cooke’s steady leg and ability to flip field position make him a valuable weapon in Jacksonville.
Chris Hanson (2001-06)
Stats: 18,190 punt yards, 42.9 yards per punt, 35.9 net yards per punt, 14 Approximate Value
Bio: Hanson punted for the Jaguars from 2001 to 2006, serving as the team’s primary punter during the mid-2000s. He is best remembered for his role in the infamous “chopping wood” locker room incident in 2003, but on the field, he averaged over 42 yards per punt across six seasons.

And here are the nominees for Jacksonville’s All-Time Long Snapper.
Joe Zelenka (2001-08)
Stats: 128 games played, 4 Approximate Value
Bio: Jacksonville’s long snapper from 2001 to 2008, Zelenka was a model of consistency and durability. He played in 128 consecutive games for the Jaguars and became a trusted part of the special teams battery for nearly a decade.
Carson Tinker (2013-16, 2018)
Stats: 69 games played, 4 Approximate Value
Bio: Signed as an undrafted free agent in 2013, Tinker handled long snapping duties for six seasons in Jacksonville. He was reliable in both field goal and punt situations and remained a respected locker-room presence through multiple coaching staffs.
Ross Matiscik (2020-present)
Stats: 84 games played, 7 Approximate Value
Bio: Joining the Jaguars in 2020, Matiscik quickly earned the long snapper job and has held it ever since. Dependable and consistent, he has been a steady contributor to the kicking and punting units while also playing a role in kick coverage. He and Cooke each earned Pro Bowl and second-team All-Pro honors in 2024.

Finally, here are the nominees for Jacksonville’s All-Time Return Specialist.
Reggie Barlow (1996-00)
Stats: 1,581 punt return yards, 10.8 yards per punt return, 1,634 kick return yards, 23.3 yards per kick return
Bio: Primarily a return specialist, Barlow handled both punt and kick return duties for the Jaguars from 1997 to 2000. He scored the first punt return touchdown in franchise history and still ranks among the team leaders in combined return yards. His explosiveness on special teams made him a true weapon during Jacksonville’s playoff years.
Brian Witherspoon (2008-09)
Stats: 270 punt return yards, 11.3 yards per punt return, 1,818 kick return yards, 23.9 yards per kick return
Bio: An undrafted rookie in 2008, Witherspoon made an immediate impact as a kick returner. He set a then-franchise record with 1,374 kick return yards that season and finished third in the NFL in average yards per return. Though his time in Jacksonville was brief, he remains one of the most productive single-season returners in team history.
Jamal Agnew (2021-23)
Stats: 423 punt return yards, 8.5 yards per punt return, 1,463 kick return yards, 25.2 yards per kick return
Bio: Signed in 2021, Agnew brought elite return ability and versatility to Jacksonville’s special teams. He scored touchdowns on both kick and punt returns with the Jaguars, including a 109-yard missed field goal return in 2021 that tied the NFL record for the longest play ever. Agnew also contributed as a gadget player on offense, but his biggest impact was in the return game, where he was one of the most dangerous threats in the league.
