The Jacksonville Jaguars are preparing for their 31st season as an NFL franchise.

To commemorate their history — and to provide content during the dry part of the offseason — we’d like your help in naming the team’s greatest players at every position.

Here are the nominees for Jacksonville’s All-Time Left Guard.

Vince Manuwai (2003-10)

Stats: 114 games played, 108 games started, 57 Approximate Value

Bio: A third-round pick in 2003, Manuwai was a mauling left guard who helped fuel one of the league’s most physical rushing attacks.

He started over 100 games across eight seasons in Jacksonville, including a dominant 2006 campaign that saw the Jaguars average over 170 rushing yards per game. Manuwai’s power and toughness made him a fan favorite and a key figure in the team’s mid-2000s identity.

Ben Coleman (1995-99)

Stats: 82 games played, 73 games started, 36 Approximate Value

Bio: Signed in 1996, Coleman became a foundational piece of the Jaguars’ early offensive lines. He started for four seasons at guard and tackle and helped the team reach the playoffs in each of his first three years in Jacksonville. Known for his athleticism and leadership, Coleman was a steady presence during the franchise’s formative years.

Tyler Shatley (2014-23)

Stats: 150 games played, 53 games started, 28 Approximate Value

Bio: Undrafted out of Clemson in 2014, Shatley quietly became one of the longest-tenured players in Jaguars history. Valued for his versatility and depandability, he started at every interior offensive line position across more than a decade in Jacksonville. Shatley’s durability and team-first mindset made him a trusted depth piece through multiple coaching regimes.

Stats: 211 games played, 211 games started, 103 Approximate Value

Bio: A second-round pick in 2000, Meester was a pillar of consistency for the Jaguars over 14 seasons. He played both guard and center but is best remembered for anchoring the middle of the line, starting 209 regular season games — the most in franchise history. Meester was respected for his intelligence, toughness, and leadership, and retired in 2013 as one of the most beloved players in team history.

Stats: 91 games played, 91 games started, 35 Approximate Value

Bio: Drafted in the third round in 2014, Linder quickly became one of the league’s most technically sound centers. He earned a reputation as a smart, steady leader on the interior and was named team captain multiple times. Injuries limited his availability later in his career, but Linder still started nearly 100 games over eight seasons before retiring in 2022.

Dave Widell (1995-97)

Stats: 51 games played, 46 games started, 22 Approximate Value

Bio: A veteran center and guard, Widell was part of Jacksonville’s inaugural roster and started 44 games over three seasons from 1995 to 1997. He brought leadership and experience to a young offensive line and helped set the tone for the franchise’s early playoff success.
