Jaguars pick two-time All-Pro and Super Bowl Champion in PFF's 2013 NFL redraft
In PFF's 2013 NFL redraft, the Jaguars selected an All-Pro offensive lineman and Super Bowl Champion in the first round.
If the Jacksonville Jaguars could go back in time and reselect in the first round of the 2013 NFL draft, who would they pick?
Pro Football Focus recently redrafted the entire first round of the 2013 NFL draft, using hindsight and their grading as their guide.
After a 2-14 season in 2012, the Jaguars held the second overall pick in this draft and selected offensive tackle Luke Joeckel. But this time around, PFF had the Jaguars picking tackle Lane Johnson instead.
"Johnson's production and consistency continue to impress into his mid-to-late 30s," wrote PFF. "He has earned at least an 80.0 PFF overall grade in nine of his 12 NFL seasons. He set a career record at the age of 34 with an 88.9 mark in 2024 en route to a second Super Bowl victory with the Eagles. Johnson has also amazingly allowed just six sacks over the past six seasons, spanning nearly 3,000 pass-blocking snaps."
Johnson, who is still playing, has spent his entire 12-year career with the Philadelphia Eagles as their right tackle. This includes making 158 starts during that span, winning two Super Bowls, along with being a six-time Pro Bowler and two-time first-team All-Pro. Johnson has also been named a second-team All-Pro three times.
Joeckel, meanwhile, was not selected in the first round of PFF's redraft. He played four seasons with the Jaguars, making 50 starts, and then spent the 2017 season with Seattle, which was the last year that Joeckel saw regular-season snaps.

Tyreek Hill lobbies for Jalen Ramsey to stay with Dolphins despite trade buzz
Tyreek Hill does not want the Jalen Ramsey to leave South Beach. Hill told the Fanatics Fest crowd on Saturday that he was hard at work to get his star cornerback to stay, despite Ramsey having been on the trade block for months. 'I'm going to hang out with Ramsey,' Hill said, 'I'm going to get him back, full-court press, I'm getting him, Ramsey, back in a Dolphins jersey.' Advertisement Dolphins receiver Tyreek Hill AP Keeping Ramsey in Miami will be a challenging task for both Hill and Dolphins brass. The 30-year-old was named the best cornerback in the NFL three times and is a seven-time Pro Bowler. Advertisement As the No. 5-overall pick in the 2016 NFL Draft, Ramsey quickly became for defensive force for the Jaguars, eventually moving to the Rams in a midseason 2019 trade. Since coming to Miami in a 2023 deal with the Rams, his production has trended downward. Dolphins cornerback Jalen Ramsey (5) works out during training camp. USA TODAY Sports via Reuters Con Ramsey has played in 27 games with the Dolphins, recording five interceptions and 16 pass deflections over the past two years. Advertisement The main reason Miami might send him to another team is due to his contract: In 2024, Ramsey signed a three-year extension worth $72 million. At the time, that made him the highest-paid cornerback in the NFL. With Ramsey's $24 million cap hit, his contract would be one of the first that would need to go if the Dolphins' front office wants to enter a rebuild. Currently, Miami is positioned between a playoff contender and a team that may need to enter a rebuild sooner rather than later. Advertisement It's not enough to deter Hill, the speedy star wideout. 'He's a dog. He's one of the best corners in the league, man.' he said of Ramsey. 'Great leader, great teammate too, though. That's what he doesn't get a lot of credit for.'

Jets owner Woody Johnson buys stake in Crystal Palace soccer team
New York Jets owner Woody Johnson New York Jets owner Woody Johnson purchased a stake in Crystal Palace soccer team. File Photo by John Angelillo/UPI | | License Photo June 23 (UPI) -- New York Jets owner Woody Johnson has agreed to purchase a stake in Crystal Palace from American businessman John Textor, the English Premier League soccer franchise announced Monday. Johnson, a former U.S. ambassador to Britain from 2017 to 2021, is purchasing a 43% stake from Textor for $254 million, ESPN reported. "Whilst the completion is pending approval from the Premier League and Women's Super League, we do not envisage any issues and look forward to welcoming Woody as a partner and director of the club," Crystal Palace said in a statement. "We would like to go on record to thank John Textor for his contribution over the past four years and wish him every success for the future." Media outlets reported earlier this month that Johnson was in talks for the ownership stake in the franchise. Crystal Palace's ownership includes two NFL Commanders owners: Josh Harris and David Blitzer, who also have ownership in NBA's Philadelphia 76ers and NHL's New Jersey Devils. English businessman Steve Parish also is a part-owner of the soccer team. In 2022, Johnson made an unsuccessful attempt to buy the English club Chelsea. The Jets were awarded marketing rights in Britain. Johnson, 78, has owned the Jets since 2020, when he bought the franchise for $635 million. Johnson, the heir to the Johnson & Johnson pharmaceutical company, is worth $3.3 billion, according to Forbes. Crystal Palace won the 2024-25 FA Cup that pits teams in English soccer divisions, and finished 12th in the Premier League. The club plans to play in the Union of European Football Association Europa League. Textor's Eagle Football Holdings Group also owns a controlling stake in French club Lyon, which also qualified for the Europa League. Clubs had until the end of March to change their ownership structures to comply with Europa's multi-club ownership rules, but Palace missed the deadline. Tester, 59, was a Crystal Palace general partner for four years, buying a 40% stake. "We're having extreme success in Brazil and early on in France, [and] to not have that same level of integration with our partner in the UK ... it just becomes more and more clear that that level of collaboration we want and need works," Tester told The Athletic.

New York Jets Billionaire Co-Owner Buys Stake In Crystal Palace
Woody Johnson watches the New York Jets prepare to play the Denver Broncos at Empower Field At Mile ... More High on September 26, 2021 in Denver, Colorado. Robert "Woody" Johnson, the co-owner of the NFL's New York Jets, has agreed to buy John Textor's stake in Crystal Palace in a deal that will likely boost the chances of the south London club playing in next season's Europa League. Johnson has signed a "legally binding contract" to purchase the stake from John Textor's Eagle Football group, according to a statement from Crystal Palace on Monday. Completion of the deal is pending approval from the Premier League and Women's Super League, the club said, but it does not envisage any issues and look forward to welcoming Woody as a partner and director. "We would like to go on record to thank John Textor for his contribution over the past four years and wish him every success for the future," the statement said. Johnson will reportedly pay about £190 million ($256 million) to acquire more than 40% ownership of Crystal Palace. Forbes estimates that he has a net worth of $3.4 billion. The American billionaire had tried to buy Chelsea in 2022, but lost out to the consortium led by billionaire Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital. Textor had been under pressure to wrap up a quick sale of his stake in Palace to avoid the club being disqualified from playing in Europe next season. UEFA's rules state that no individual or entity can have 'control or influence' over two clubs competing in the same competition. Textor owns a majority stake in French Ligue 1 club Olympique Lyonnais, which has also qualified for the Europa League and would take precedence over Palace due to their higher domestic league finish. UEFA is expected to reach its decision on Palace's participation in the Europa League this week, but the matter may drag on even longer. For if Palace are disqualified from the competition, Nottingham Forest would be moved from the Conference League to the Europa League. And Forest have already written to UEFA to raise their concerns about Palace breaching the governing body's rules on multi-club ownership. Forest's billionaire owner Evangelos Marinakis avoided the same problem with his Greek side Olympiakos by placing his shares in the Premier League club into a blind trust to comply with UEFA rules. Textor could have made the same arrangement with his Palace shares, but the deadline for doing so passed on March 1. UEFA is already said to be preparing for a possible legal challenge to its decision at the court of arbitration for sport (CAS). Textor is expected to use the proceeds of stake sale to invest in another English club through his Eagle Football group, which also includes Brazil's Botafogo and Belgium's RWD Molenbeek. He had tried to buy Everton earlier this year, but Farhad Moshiri opted instead to sell the club to Dan Friedkin. Textor had previously expressed frustration that his investment in Palace did not entitle him to having a greater say in the club's direction. Despite holding the largest shareholding in Palace, his 25% voting rights were equal to fellow co-owners Steve Parish, David Blitzer and Josh Harris. Parish holds a 10% stake in club, and has effectively had day-to-day control of the club since 2010, when he led a consortium that saved it from liquidation. And the American investors Harris and Blitzer each own an 18% stake in Palace.
