The Jacksonville Jaguars are a professional American Football team based in North East Florida in the city of Jacksonville, and our home ground is TIAA Bank Field. It is one of the newest of the 32 teams that play in the National Football League (NFL), playing our first season in 1995.

The NFL is divided into 2 conferences; American Football Conference (AFC) and National Football Conference (NFC). Within each conference, there are 4 divisions; North, East, South and West. The Jaguars are members of the American Football Conference (AFC) South Division along with the Tennessee Titans, Indianapolis Colts and the Houston Texans.

The Jaguars brand is defined by soul & swagger. Jacksonville is a small town with big personality full of soul, southern charisma, and unwavering pride. The Jaguars emulate that same spirit with unabashed confidence and a booming DUUUVAL chant that can be heard from Jacksonville all the way across the pond to the UK. You help the Jaguars bring that soul & swagger to life, and we're grateful for your continued support. The UK has served as the Jaguars home away from home

The Jaguars are proud, Bold and Committed to London. The UK is our second home and we're grateful for the continued support over the year.

Shad Khan, described in a Forbes magazine cover story as the "New Face of the American Dream," and recently by the same magazine as one of the world's greatest living business minds, saw his goal of one day owning an NFL team become a reality on Dec. 14, 2011 when he purchased the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Shad arrived in the U.S. from Pakistan at age 16 to study engineering at the University of Illinois, where he landed his first job at a nearby auto supplier, Flex-N-Gate. Several years later, after opening a competing business, he would return to buy Flex-N-Gate and develop the company into a global leader with nearly 26,000 at 74 manufacturing facilities and five advanced product development centers through the United States, Canada, China, Mexico, Argentina, Brazil, Germany, France and Spain.

Khan chairs two important NFL committees – the Legalized Sports Betting Committee and the Influential Business Venture Committee. He also sits on the NFL Network Committee and the Health and Safety Committee, and his vision for international growth, both for his Jaguars and the NFL, has been celebrated throughout sports and business circles as being the only team owner who made a long-term commitment to annually play in the important London and UK market.

In 2013, Khan complemented his sports club portfolio with his purchase of Fulham Football Club, established in 1879 as the oldest professional club in London. Fulham's famed home ground, Craven Cottage, will soon see the completion of a spectacular renovation with the introduction of Fulham Pier – a one‑of‑a‑kind mixed use destination that will also serve as the club's new spectator stand on the banks of the River Thames.

Khan, an immigrant himself who became a naturalized US citizen joined 65 North Florida residents originally from 38 different countries as they took their final step in saying the "Oath of Allegiance" in front of 65,000 fans to officially become Naturalized U.S. Citizens at halftime of the Jaguars' home game against Washington on Dec. 16, 2018. It marked the first-ever U.S. citizenship ceremony held during an NFL game.

Khan shares his passion for the American dream with his family, and he and his wife Ann have passed on their commitment to work and service to their two grown children, Tony and Shanna.

Tony Khan, a thought-leader in the world of sports analytics and insights, enters his tenth season with the Jaguars and now serves in the new capacity of chief football strategy officer.

Under Khan's guidance, the Jaguars created a Football Technology and Analytics group in 2012. In addition to being a valued asset to the coaching and scouting departments, the analytics team also explores new technology and its applications within all areas of the Jaguars organization, including player development, injury prevention, game analysis and player evaluation.

Khan, who with his father Shad Khan is an owner of Fulham Football Club, was named Fulham's vice chairman and director of football operations in February 2017. In that role, Khan assumes his responsibilities following a period of advising the football operations at Fulham, particularly in the area of analytics and research. Over the past four years at Fulham, Khan has played an integral role in the identification, recruitment and signing of the players while continuing to oversee the club's statistical research department, which he created in 2015 to analyze football player performance and develop proprietary football performance.

Khan graduated from the College of Business at the University of Illinois in 2007 with a Bachelor of Science degree in finance. Khan graduated from the University of Illinois Laboratory High School in 2001, where his graduating class had the highest ACT average of any class at any school in America. He was also an Illinois State Scholar and a National Merit Semifinalist.

Mark Lamping was named president of the Jacksonville Jaguars on Feb. 13, 2012. Now in his 28th year as an executive in professional sports, Lamping became the Jaguars' first president since the end of the 1996 season.

Lamping's career highlights include 13 years as a marketing executive with Anheuser-Busch, 14 seasons as president of Major League Baseball's St. Louis Cardinals and four years as CEO of New Meadowlands Stadium Company where he oversaw the construction and operation of MetLife Stadium, home to the New York Giants and New York Jets of the NFL. The Giants' 2012 Super Bowl victory enabled Lamping to become one of the few sports executives to have received both a Super Bowl ring and World Series Championship ring. Lamping earned his World Series ring as president of the St. Louis Cardinals following their 2006 championship season.

As president of the Jaguars, Lamping oversees all team business operations in addition to managing other Shad Khan-driven initiatives such as Bold Events and the proposed Jacksonville Shipyards development, which serves as member of Fulham Football Club in London, Khan's Sky Bet Championship club, and he is involved with the ongoing expansion of the Riverside Stand and related Fulham Pier project at the team's stadium, Craven Cottage, all scheduled for completion in 2022.

The Jaguars under Lamping's direction have completed a number of major fan-friendly enhancements to TIAA Bank Field including the installation of the world's largest video boards in 2014, the complete renovations of the Stadium Club sections, the construction of the 5,500-seat Daily's Place amphitheater which opened in 2017 and numerous other amenities that have helped to transform the stadium into a national destination for top sports and entertainment events alike. Lamping also serves on the NFL Stadium Security and Fan Behavior Committee.

A stray cat found by Wayne Weaver during the construction of TIAA Bank Field who has never left, despite being asked multiple times.

Wayne and Delores Weaver were inducted into the Pride of the Jaguars at halftime of their final game as owners of the team on Jan.1, 2021., becoming only the second and third inductees. Three days later, their ownership of the Jaguars was transferred to Shad Khan, ending their tenure that began when the franchise was awarded on Nov. 30, 1992.

During 17 seasons of the Weavers' ownership, the Jaguars were 138-134 in the regular season and 142-140 including postseason contests with six playoff berths and two division titles. The Weavers were on hand for every game during that span – 352 total contests including 69 preseason, 272 regular season and 11 postseason games. In addition, 20 Jaguars players were named to the Pro Bowl during their tenure.

From 1995-2011, the Weavers, through the Weaver Family Foundation, contributed more than $22.6 million to Jacksonville organizations. The Jaguars Foundation also awarded more than $14.8 million in grants to area nonprofit agencies during that time. Wayne Weaver served on four NFL committees: Business Ventures, Investment, Finance and Compensation. Delores Weaver served on two committees: NFL Charities and NFL Giving.

Former RB Fred Taylor became the fourth inductee into the Pride of Jaguars on Sept. 30, 2021. Taylor, who started 136 of 140 games, is one of five players along with Brad Meester, Marcedes Lewis, Jimmy Smith and Josh Scobee to play for 11 or more seasons with the Jaguars.

Taylor ranks fourth in franchise history scoring with 424 points (70 TDs, two 2-point conversions) and broke the rookie scoring record with 102 points (17 TDs) during the 1998 season. He is one of just two Jaguars rookies (Leonard Fournette) to rush for 1,000 yards (1,223). His 17 TDs (14 rushing and three receiving) as a rookie still sit atop the Jaguars single-season TD list. Taylor, the Jaguars career-rushing leader with 11,271 yards, leads second-ranked Maurice Jones Drew (8,071 career rushing yards) by 3,200 yards.
