This is nomination #12 in this series and will be, provided everything goes well, THE LAST IN THE 32-TEAM SERIES! WOO! This is the shortest list of the bunch because the Jaguars are one of the newest teams to enter the league, doing so in 1995. This lists' format is based on my previous successful nominations/other lists in the set. As always, I will do my best to respond quickly to address any and all concerns that are brought up.

Thank you for taking a look @OlifanofmrTennant! I've reviewed ref 1, including turning off my ad blocker just in case, and I'm not seeing an author of Mark Long. Hey man im josh (talk) 19:24, 22 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Looking over it now I confused two AP news sources. That's my bad. Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 19:31, 22 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the review and the congratulations! Of course, much of that congratulations goes to the individuals who helped to promote the 20 other lists before I started chipping in, but I'll post a recap about it once this one gets promoted :) Hey man im josh (talk) 20:02, 22 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comments

"Since that time, he's been selected" - write "he has" in full
Is there a link for "edge rusher"? I've not encountered this term before and it isn't mentioned in the position key.
That's all I got. Great work as ever :-) -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 20:30, 22 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hey @ChrisTheDude, thanks so much for the review and for catching what you did! I've addressed both your comments. For a long winded explanation though... In American football, "edge rusher" is a catchall term that typically refers to a defensive player who rushes the quarterback from the edge of the offensive line, pretty much always outside linebackers and defensive ends. NFL teams typically use 4-3 (4 defensive linemen, 3 linebackers) or 3-4 (3 defensive linemen and 4 linebackers) as their "base" defense, though this base can change depending on the plays. An edge rusher, such as prominent players TJ Watt and Von Miller, will sometimes be designated as a linebacker or a defensive end depending on the scheme and you may notice the role being the same as an outside observer. The Josh Allen in this article was once located at Josh Allen (defensive end) but was moved to Josh Allen (linebacker). Their role didn't really change, but their official designation did. Given that they are listed as a linebacker now and were drafted as a defensive end, using this term makes the most sense in this context. Josh Allen is actually a great example of this. If you look at his PFR, you'll see he was listed as a DE (defensive end) his first two years and then as an OLB (outside linebacker) his last three years. PFR also designates his position as edge. The position label is being more used often in recent years, even becoming a dedicated slot on the 2023 All-Pro Team. Hey man im josh (talk) 22:00, 22 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
