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 Cornerbacks.
Stats: 279 tackles, 42 pass deflections, 15 interceptions, 7 forced fumbles, 35 Approximate Value
Bio: A third-round pick in 1996, Beasley quickly earned a starting role in Jacksonville’s secondary. His best season came in 1999, when he intercepted 6 passes and returned 2 for touchdowns to help the Jaguars reach the AFC Championship Game. Beasley spent six seasons in Jacksonville and still ranks among the franchise leaders in career interceptions.
Stats: 296 tackles, 48 pass deflections, 5 interceptions, 0 forced fumbles, 31 Approximate Value
Bio: Drafted 26th overall in 1999, Bryant stepped in as a rookie starter on one of the league’s top defenses. A smooth cover corner, he started 75 games over five seasons in Jacksonville and helped stabilize the secondary during a transition period. While he never made a Pro Bowl, Bryant was a dependable presence throughout his tenure.
Stats: 520 tackles, 104 pass deflections, 30 interceptions, 6 forced fumbles, 68 Approximate Value

Stats: 210 tackles, 45 pass deflections, 9 interceptions, 2 forced fumbles, 34 Approximate Value

He earned two Pro Bowls and a First-Team All-Pro nod in just three and a half seasons in Jacksonville while anchoring the defense during the team’s 2017 AFC Championship run. Though his tenure ended in a high-profile trade request, Ramsey remains one of the most talented players to ever wear a Jaguars uniform.
Stats: 175 tackles, 34 pass deflections, 8 interceptions, 0 forced fumbles, 22 Approximate Value
Bio: Signed in free agency in 2017, Bouye teamed with Ramsey to form one of the NFL’s most dominant cornerback duos. He earned Pro Bowl and Second-Team All-Pro honors in his first season after intercepting 6 passes and allowing just 1 touchdown all year. Bouye spent three seasons in Jacksonville and was a key piece of the 2017 “Sacksonville” squad.
Stats: 262 tackles, 36 pass deflections, 6 interceptions, 2 forced fumbles, 20 Approximate Value
