There are few players as prominent in the early Jacksonville Jaguars days than Keenan McCardell. The “Thunder” in “Thunder and Lightning,” McCardell combined with Jimmy Smith to be one of the best receiving duos in the NFL during the mid to late 1990s.
A player who could do it all, McCardell’s time with the Jags led to 499 receptions, 6393 yards, and 30 touchdowns over six seasons. He ultimately played for five teams over 17 years but his time with the Jags was his longest and he will always be fondly remembered for his impressive run with Smith and quarterback Mark Brunell from 1996 to 2001.
