The Associated Press has named long snapper Ross Matiscik of the Jacksonville Jaguars a first-team All-Pro for the 2023–24 NFL season.
Along with Josh Allen, the outside linebacker for the Jaguars, the fourth-year player was also selected to the Pro Bowl by the NFL Player’s Association earlier this week.
Matiscik is the team’s eighth-ever first-team All-Pro selection* and its first since 2017. He was signed by Jacksonville as an undrafted free agent in 2020.

This season, Matiscik had a league-high eight special teams tackles for his position. Following the announcement of the Pro Bowl rosters last week, Doug Pederson went into detail about his contributions to the club.
“For Ross specifically, it was his snap accuracy, willingness, and desire to run down the field that resulted in a fumble the previous time.” When other teams and players are observing and observing, his tackling and similar actions stand out. It’s a testament to him and his effort because he stands out.
Fans of the Jaguars, did any other players from the 2023 squad not make the All-Pro team?
