The Jaguars said that Jaxson De Ville is entering his 29th season as the team’s mascot after originally being discovered as a stray during construction of EverBank Stadium in the mid-1990s. He made his mascot debut on Aug. 18, 1996, and now weighs in at a very slim and sleek 403 pounds and 8.5 paws tall. He has never seen action in an NFL-sanctioned game, despite multiple attempts to enter the field of play, but has appeared in several halftime games and has become a social media star.
“No mascot is more worthy of Hall of Fame selection than Jaxson de Ville,” Christy Stechman-Zynda, director of entertainment groups for the Jacksonville Jaguars said. “His commitment to the team and the Northeast Florida community is unparalleled.”
