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.
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.
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.
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.
Time to vote!
Now, here are the nominees for Jacksonville’s All-Time Punter.
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.
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.
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.
