JOEL SMMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEENNGGGEEEEE!!!! takes me way back and also makes me recall AARON BBEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAASSSSSSLLLLEEYYYY!!!
Most definitely and that's why I consider him underrated. One of the highest performing DEs we've ever had but nobody but a few of us long timers even remember him, lol.
Harry Colon, just based on the name alone. Every time they announced his name, I giggled.
- Donovan Darius
- Brad Meester
- John Henderson

He was such a physical beast.

Some may not even be aware but he was actually a pretty good RB before his injury.
1. Darryl Smith
2. Greg Jones
3. Rob Meier
4. Seth Payne
5. Jimmy Smith- He did earn a few pro-bowl selections, but he was the best skill position player the Jags have ever had- even better than Taylor. In his prime, he could not be covered even when double-teamed.

Yep
Chris Naeole - Imo the best Guard we ever had.
Rashean Mathis - People now talk about him like was just ok. Give me Mathis over Ramsey (Ramsey is more talented but he didn't have a great season and his attitude stinks).
Reggie Williams - No he wasn't great but also nowhere near as bad a people say, he was a good #2 and Matt Jones helped him end his career with weed
Akin Ayodele - Not great but pretty good
Mike Peterson - He was better than D. Smith
John Henderson - Dude should have been an All Pro at least 2 years, also people thought Stroud was better (he wasn't)
Terry Cousins - Best NB we've had. People talk about Hayden lmao. Also lol at all the people who thought K.Thomas and Colvin were great NBs.
Bobby McCray - pretty good DE, pretty strong for his size....
D. Smith wasn't nowhere near as good as peole claimed at the beginning, he became really good after that but like his first 5 season he was just slightly above average.
James Stewart is definitely a forgotten player in the Jags RB history. He benefited from a great OLine but this is about being underrated so I just thought I'd throw his name out there.
7,500 yards + 57 TDs

For a 2nd round pick, I definitely don't consider him underrated -- heck, a better discussion may be whether he was a bust or not. Sure he made the most of it given his inability to run at the NFL level stemming from his nasty injury at FSU but I don't think we drafted him with the 55th pick thinking the dude would only gain 913 career rushing yards. The other 3 FBs that were drafted in 2004 were taken in the 5th and 7th rounds -- you don't draft a FB in round 2. Heck, Michael burner Turner went in round 5 and ran for over 7,500 yards.
Pete Mitchell, still the best receiving TE in Jags history
Bryan Schwartz
Seth Payne
Dynamic kicking duo Bryan Barker and Mike Hollis
Great suggestions all, but I think Smeenge takes it.
Pete Mitchell, Gary Walker, Chris Hudson
For fun: Steve Mathews, Jim Miller
Did I seriously just read Reggie Williams? Huge bust. Arguably one of the biggest in franchise history.
Among people that haven't already been mentioned:
Marcedes Lewis & David Garrard. Marcedes was quietly an allpro and probowler to the tune of 10 td's when they actually decided to throw it to the 6'6" guy. And he was an absolute animal at blocking, we did not appreciate what he contributed until this past year with him gone. Garrard, everyone talks about Brunell but Garrard is easily the 2nd best QB in franchise history, after his rookie year in limited action, he never had a negative TD/INT ratio, was accurate, efficient with the ball. He had 2 bread and butter plays to convert just about anything, the slant and the qb draw. if he had last years team, thats easily a SB.
On the defensive side, Clint Ingram and Clint Sessions. both of those men could absolutely tattoo people with their hits, the physicality of them and those defenses was nuts. And i feel like Jags fans have always been spoiled with good ST's play until recently, largely due to Montell Owens, and Kassim Osgood, having a ST's like that again would make a tangible difference in games especially with the style of play we are trying to play now.
