Former Jaguars LB Myles Jack retires from NFL after 7 seasons

Former Jacksonville Jaguars linebacker Myles Jack is calling it a career and informed the Philadelphia Eagles that he plans to retire, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.

Jack, 27, spent the majority of his career with the Jaguars after they picked him with the No. 36 overall pick in the second round of the 2016 NFL draft. In six seasons with Jacksonville, he appeared in 103 games and made 95 starts. Jack recorded 513 tackles with the Jaguars — seventh most in franchise history — along with three interceptions, two forced fumbles, 6.5 sacks, and four fumble recoveries.

His most notable moment with the Jaguars came during the AFC Championship in January 2018 when he chased down the New England Patriots’ Dion Lewis and forced a fumble, which he recovered himself. While the play was blown dead by officials, replays later showed that Jack wasn’t touched down by a New England player and should’ve been allowed to return the fumble for a likely touchdown.

Jack signed a four-year contract extension with the Jaguars just prior to the 2019 season, but was released by the team in March 2022. He played one season with the Pittsburgh Steelers and joined the Eagles earlier this month.
