Jaxson DeVille Retiring as Jacksonville Jaguars Mascot

As the first and only mascot in franchise history, Jaxson DeVille has always been a point of pride for the Jacksonville Jaguars and their fans. After 19 seasons, the man who has played Jaxson from the beginning – Curtis Dvorak – has decided to retire as the big cat in charge.

What a run for @CurtisDvorak – he's retiring as @JaxsonDeVille after two decades inside the suit. Tough act to follow.

Considered by many to be the greatest mascot in American sports, Jaxson DeVille was the most consistent part of the Jaguars gameday experience since he stepped foot on the field at the beginning of the 1996 season.
