10. Mark Burnell
While Mark wasn’t a great QB, he was good for a number of years, being named to the Pro Bowl in the second and third years of the franchise’s existence. In all, Mark made the Pro Bowl team three times in his nine years in Jacksonville. Burnell finished with a passer rating of 85.4, which may not sound great by today’s standards but wasn’t bad for the time he played. In 1996 Mark led the NFL in passing yards with 4367. Burnell played in eight playoff games for the Jags going 4–4 though his passer rating was only 67.1. Enough of that. I came to praise Burnell, not sack him.

Jalen has spent only three seasons with the Jaguars but has made two Pro Bowls and one All Pro team. He has the potential to climb this list. Ramsey made the NFL All Rookie team in 2016 and was named number 17 on the list of the NFL’s Top 100…
