No players with any Detroit Lions ties are being inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2022, but there will be some Lions representation at the ceremony in Canton, Ohio this summer. Lions quarterbacks coach Mark Brunell will have the honor of presenting offensive tackle Tony Boselli to the crowd and the Hall of Fame.
Brunell and Boselli played together for the Jacksonville Jaguars from 1995-2001. Boselli protected Brunell’s blindside as one of the best left tackles in league history. The duo led the expansion Jaguars to the postseason in four straight seasons beginning in 1996, a season where Brunell led the NFL in passing yardage.
It’s a nice honor for Brunell, who just finished his first season as the Lions’ QB coach.
