Three Jacksonville Jaguars players were honored with Pro Football Writers Association's 2025 On-Field Awards on Friday.
Devin Lloyd added another feather to the already stunning chapeau he crafted this season, earning the All-AFC honors from Pro Football Writers of America.
Three Jacksonville Jaguars players were selected for the PFWA's 2025 On-Field Awards, the organization announced Friday.
Joining Lloyd, who was named to the All-Defensive Team as the AFC's top middle linebacker, were place kicker Cam Little for Special Teams and center Jonah Monheim, who made the PFWA's All-Rookie Team on offense.
Little, 22, made NFL and Jaguars history this season. In his second year in the league, Little kicked two of the NFL's all-time longest field goals -- a 68-yarder on Nov. 2 in the Jags' overtime win over the Las Vegas Raiders to surpass former Baltimore Ravens PK Justin Tucker's previous record of 66 yards.
Little also booted the longest outdoor field goal in the history of professional football and the NFL's second-longest figgie in the Jaguars' season-finale victory over the Tennessee Titans -- a 67-yarder that broke the franchise record for most points in a season. Little now owns the Jags' points mark, having scored 140 total in the regular season, breaking the record set by kicker Mike Hollis in 1997, who had 134 points.
A sixth-round draft pick (212th overall) in 2024 out of Arkansas, Little was named to last year's PFWA All-Rookie Team. He earned the NFL's AFC Special Teams Player of the Month for December. (Jags quarterback Trevor Lawrence was named the AFC POM on offense.)
Added to the 2025 Pro Bowl roster Thursday, Lloyd was arguably the best defensive player the Jags fielded this season, though he's not expected to remain in Jacksonville.
Lloyd is having his best season ever in the NFL and is headed into free agency, which opens in mid-March. The 27-year-old ball-hawk is expected to command top-dollar, with estimates in the ballpark of $20 million per year.
Last April, the Jaguars declined to pick up a fifth-year option for Lloyd, a first-round draft pick out of Utah. His four-year, $13 million rookie contract is set to expire as the League Year ends, making Lloyd an unrestricted free agent.
Lloyd started 15 games this season; he was out for two games and limited for three more due to a preseason chest injury and a nagging calf injury through midseason.
Still, he was the only regular player for the Jags voted a 2025 All-Pro (second team) after finishing the regular season with 81 tackles (35 solo), 10 QB hits, seven passes defensed, six tackles for loss, five interceptions (one a pick-six), 1.5 sacks and one fumble recovery. (Long snapper Ross Matiscik made the All-Pro first team for the third straight season.)
The NFL awarded Lloyd the AFC Defensive Player of the Month for September and the AFC Defensive Player of the Week following the Jaguars' Week 4 victory over the 49ers in San Francisco. His five interceptions and six takeaways this season tied for the second and third most in the NFL, respectively -- helping the Jaguars collect 22 interceptions on the season for 31 takeaways on the season (to the Bears' NFL-best 23 INTs for 33 takeaways). Lloyd is just the second player in the last 20 years to have at least 10 quarterback hits and five picks in a season -- the first since Tampa Bay Buccaneers linebacker and future Hall-of-Famer Lavonte David in 2013.
Monheim, 23, played in every game for the Jaguars this season and postseason, starting twice. A seventh-round pick (221st overall) out of USC in 2025, the 6-foot-4, 310-pound lineman logged time at multiple positions. Jags offensive coordinator Grant Udinski called Monheim consistent, diligent, and hardworking.
Ahead of the Jags' regular-season finale on Jan. 4, Udinski said, "He's had a huge impact, not only out there on the field, being able to step in, but even in the meeting rooms, in the classroom, in the walk-throughs, his communication, his preparation is phenomenal."
Monheim was a three-time Pac-12 All-Academic at Southern Cal and earned a bachelor's degree there in business administration.
"Not only preparation, but his effort and strain and physicality and finish out there on the field," Udinski said. "For him to be able to handle that as a rookie is really impressive."
