FEATURED ALL-25
PLAYER OF THE GAME
NO. 9 – DT MARCUS STROUD
Former Jaguars DT Marcus Stroud was
selected as No. 9 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.
Stroud was originally selected by the
Jaguars in the fi rst round (13th overall) of
the 2001 NFL Draft. He proceeded to play in
all 16 games for the fi rst fi ve seasons of his
career in Jacksonville, which included three
consecutive Pro Bowl appearances from
2003-05. During his seven seasons (2001-07)
in Duval he played in 100 games (84 starts)
and amassed 274 tackles, 22.0 sacks, 23
passes defensed, six forced fumbles and three
fumble recoveries. He tallied a career-high
6.5 sacks in 2002 before setting a career high
with 13 tackles for loss in 2003. Prior to the
2008 season, the former Georgia Bulldog
was traded to Buffalo, where he played three
seasons and tallied 150 tackles.
In 2012, Stroud signed a one-day contract with
Jacksonville and announced his retirement.
“Stroud was a tremendously talented big man.
He was a 6-foot-7 ballerina. That was Marcus
– really light on his feet,” said Brian Sexton,
Jaguars senior correspondent and an All-25
voting member. “Incredibly quick for a big
300-pound guy and he loved the game. That
passion showed through every time he put the
helmet on.”
