River City Plus: Jaxson de Ville doing big things in the community

Jaxson de Ville, the Jacksonville Jaguars’ beloved mascot, has been making waves since his unexpected discovery in 1993. Originally a stray cat living in the south scoreboard during the Jaguars’ inaugural season, Jaxson officially became the team mascot in 1996. Known for his unpredictable antics and daredevil stunts, Jaxson quickly won over fans with his willingness to risk it all for their entertainment.

Proclaiming himself as “The Best Mascot in Sports,” Jaxson has broken barriers, becoming the first NFL mascot to travel overseas to visit U.S. troops and the first to zip line into a stadium. At every Jaguars home game, fans eagerly await his thrilling entrance, often performed through daring stunts, setting the tone for an unforgettable game day experience.
