Since his introduction in 1996, Jaxson de Ville has served as the Jaguars' mascot. Jaxson entertains the crowd before and during games with his antics. The mascot has established a reputation for making dramatic entrances including bungee jumping off the stadium lights, sliding down a rope from the scoreboard, and parachuting into the stadium.

Jaxson's antics got him into trouble in 1998 and stemmed the changing of the NFL's mascot rules, and also caused him to calm down.<ref name="Jaxson De Villain">{{Cite web |year=1999 |title=Jaxson De Villain |url=http://www.jacksonville.com/tu-online/stories/100199/spb_09_30_n2.html |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20010723120324/http://www.jacksonville.com/tu-online/stories/100199/spb_09_30_n2.html |archive-date=July 23, 2001 |access-date=September 29, 2007 |publisher=Jacksonville.com}}</ref> However, Jaxson was still seen, by some, as a mascot that gets in the way during the game. After the October 22, 2007, game against Indianapolis, Colts President Bill Polian complained to the NFL, and Jaxson was reprimanded again.<ref name="Jaxson in trouble">{{Cite web |last=Smith |first=Michael David  |year=2007 |title=Jaguars Mascot Jaxson de Ville Draws Ire of Colts President Bill Polian |url=http://sports.aol.com/fanhouse/2007/11/16/jaguars-mascot-jaxson-de-ville-draws-ire-of-colts-president-bill/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071118164136/http://sports.aol.com/fanhouse/2007/11/16/jaguars-mascot-jaxson-de-ville-draws-ire-of-colts-president-bill |archive-date=November 18, 2007 |access-date=November 18, 2007 |publisher=sports.aol.com}}</ref><ref name="Jaxson Busted">{{Cite web |year=2007 |title=Jaguars Mascot Busted For Not Following Rules |url=http://www.fox30online.com/content/topstories/story.aspx?content_id=109b97a7-99d9-4fbe-a68d-345c24346fda/ |access-date=November 18, 2007 |website=Fox 30 Online}}{{Dead link|date=January 2020 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref>
