Myles Jack's NFL career timeline

The Jacksonville Jaguars selected Myles Jack as the 36th overall pick in the 2016 NFL draft. He spent six years with the Jaguars, serving as a starter when fit, even though he missed a bucketload of games due to injury.

Myles Jack's first season saw him learn the middle linebacker position and earn the starting MLB slot. He ended the year with a stat line of 24 combined tackles, two pass deflections and half a sack in ten starts.

His second season with the Jaguars was markedly better, as he put up a stat line of 90 total tackles, two sacks, one fumble recovery and three pass deflections in sixteen starts.

He continued his improvement in his third season, racking up a stat line of 107 total tackles, 2.5 sacks, one fumble recovery, a forced fumble and a pass deflection in 16 starts.

Jack regressed in year four, battling with niggling injuries all season. That caused a regression in his stats, as he put up a stat line of 66 total tackles, 0.5 sacks, one interception and four pass deflections in 11 games.

His battle with injuries continued in years five and six, as he struggled to return to his usual high standards. He totaled a stat line of 220 plus tackles, one sack and five pass deflections in his final two seasons in Jacksonville. The Jaguars released him on Mar. 15, 2022.

He signed a two-year deal with the Pittsburgh Steelers two days later but was released by the team a year later. He appeared in 15 regular season games in his sole season at Pittsburgh.
