The 2012 Jacksonville Jaguars season was highlighted by the standout performance of Cecil Shorts III, who emerged as a premier deep threat with 979 receiving yards and seven touchdowns. The team also saw consistent production from veteran linebacker Paul Posluszny, who recorded 139 tackles, and rookie punter Bryan Anger, who set franchise records for punting average. Despite a challenging record, the Jaguars remained competitive in several close contests and demonstrated resilience through a period of organizational transition.
