After 19 seasons as the Jacksonville Jaguars mascot, the man under the suit will retire.
After 19 seasons as the Jacksonville Jaguars mascot and best mascot in the NFL, Curtis Dvorak has decided to hang up the furry cleats and retire.
It's a sad day in Jaguars history, as the one thing that was consistent about the franchise is no more. He made his first appearance on August 18, 1996 and apparently made his last during the Jaguars home finale on Thursday night against the Tennessee Titans.
I don't know if the Jaguars will replace Curtis as the mascot and keep Jaxson DeVille going in perpetuity, but one thing for sure is it won't be the same, at least at first.
