Jacksonville Jaguars legend Tony Boselli will be enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame on day, but unfortunately that date won’t be in 2021. With this year marking his fifth time making it to the finalist tier, he fell short of making the 2021 class.
Boselli was the Jags’ first ever draft selection in 1995 as he was taken second overall during the Jags’ inaugural season. He spent six seasons with the team before having a brief tenure with the Houston Texans.
While Boselli’s career was short (which is the knock against him by voters), he was named a first team All-Pro in his third, fourth, and fifth seasons (1997-99). Boselli was also voted into the Pro Bowl from his second to last seasons with the Jags (1996-2000). As a result of such dominance on the blindside, Boselli was also named to the All-Decade team for the 90s.
Boselli’s absence from the Hall-of-Fame will also leave the Jags absent from it as there are no Jags currently enshrined. That said, maybe 2022 will bring Boselli better luck, as well as Fred Taylor and Jimmy Smith, who made the initial list of 130 modern-era nominees, too.
