MAURICE JONES-DREW NAMED NO. 4 ON JAGUARS ALL-25
PRESENTED BY SHARPIE 
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Former RB Maurice Jones-Drew has been
named No. 4 on the Jaguars All-25, the club announced today.
Jaguars All-25 presented by Sharpie is a collection of the top 25
non-active players in franchise history, as voted on by members
of the local media. The Jaguars’ silver celebration kicked off in
mid-March with the start of the new league year and the unveiling
of the team’s 25th season commemorative logo designed to embody
the spirit of DUUUVAL. “Thank you for including me in the
Jaguars All-25,” said Jones-Drew. “It was an honor to play for
the Jaguars and I enjoyed my time in Jacksonville, especially beating Pittsburgh twice in 2007 – in Pittsburgh – and going to the playoffs;
that was amazing. I appreciate everything, you guys, and go Jaguars. DUUUVAL!” Jones-Drew, the club’s second-round draft pick in 2006,
started 70 of 114 games played in eight seasons with the Jaguars and led the team in rushing in six of his eight seasons.  He concluded his career in 2014 with the Oakland Raiders, playing in 12 games with
one start.  His career totals include 1,847 rushes for 8,167 yards and
68 TDs. He also totaled 346 receptions for 2,944 yards and 11 TDs.
Jones-Drew was a three-time Pro Bowl selection, earning the honors
in three straight years from 2009-11, and is the only player in Jaguars history with at least 1,300 rushing yards in three consecutive
seasons. He became the first player in franchise history to lead the
NFL in rushing as he finished with a team-record 1,606 yards on 343 carries (4.7 avg.) in 2011.   “This was a guy had no regard for his
body. He would rather run you over than run out of bounds,” said 
Mark Long, writer for the Associated Press and a Jaguars All-25
voter. The former UCLA standout holds Jaguars career records
for touchdowns (81) and rushing TDs (68) in addition to single-
season franchise records for rushing TDs (15, 2009) and yards from
scrimmage (1,980, 2011).  He ranks second in franchise history
behind Fred Taylor for career rushing yards (8,071), rushing
attempts (1,804), all-purpose yards (13,131) and 100-yard rushing
games (27). Jones-Drew holds the franchise record for receptions (335) and receiving TDs (11) by a running back, and his 486 career
points are the most in team history by a non-kicker.  He is tied with
Taylor for the most consecutive games scoring a TD, with eight, and
holds the club record with eight consecutive games with a rushing
TD.  He registered two of the three longest runs in team history,
including a record-tying 80-yard rush on Nov. 1, 2009 at Tennessee.  
Jones-Drew also saw action as a return specialist and owns team
records for career kickoff return average (26.0), kickoff return TDs
(two), kickoff returns (79) and kickoff return yards (2,054), while
adding an 8.9-yard average on 15 punt returns. He is the only player in franchise history to record two career kickoff returns for TDs,
including the longest return in team history (100 yards, Oct. 4, 2007
at New Orleans). The duo of Jones-Drew and Taylor formed the NFL’s second-best rushing tandem in 2006 and 2007.  They helped the
Jaguars set a single-season franchise record for rushing yards in
2006 with 2,541 (158.8 yards per game).  As a rookie in 2006,
Jones-Drew finished with 2,250 all-purpose yards, the third-most
by a rookie NFL history, and set single-season franchise record by a
running back with a 5.7-yard average per rush. Jones-Drew and his wife, Ashley, have two sons, Maurice II and Madden, and one
daughter, Alayah. He currently serves as a football color analyst on
NFL Network, as well as the color analyst on the Los Angeles Rams’ radio broadcasts. For more information on Jaguars All-25, including stories, interviews and statistics, please visit https://www.jaguars.com/all25
