FEATURED ALL-25 PLAYER OF THE GAME NO. 6 – DE TONY BRACKENS Former Jaguars DE Tony Brackens was selected as No. 6 on the Jaguars All-25 presented by Sharpie, a collection of the top 25 non-active players in franchise history, as voted on by members of the local media. Brackens was originally selected by Jacksonville in the second round (33rd overall) of the 1996 NFL Draft and played his entire career for the Jaguars from 1996-2003. He was named to the Pro Bowl following the 1999 season after posting 12.0 sacks and eight forced fumbles. His career totals of 55.0 sacks, 28 forced fumbles and 13 fumble recoveries are all franchise records for the Jaguars. Brackens holds the franchise record with eight consecutive games with a sack during the 2001 season. Brackens played collegiately at the University of Texas from 1992-95 and was an All-America selection as a senior in 1995 after leading the Longhorns to a 10-1 record and a berth in the Sugar Bowl. His 24.0 career sacks rank eighth in school history. “I think he might be the most legitimate game wrecker the Jaguars have ever had on the defensive side of the ball,” said Gene Frenette, columnist for the Florida Times-Union. “If there was one guy that would keep an offensive coordinator not sleeping at night in Jaguars history, he might be my fi rst choice.” Brackens currently lives on his ranch in Fairfi eld, Texas, where he and his wife, Candace, are raising three children – Aidan, McKinna and Tristan.
