The Jacksonville Jaguars finally have a player in the Hall-of-Fame.
Of course, that player is former left tackle Tony Boselli, who the league officially revealed was heading into the Pro Football Hall-of-Fame Thursday at the NFL Honors Awards.
It was a long wait for Boselli, who was the Jags first-ever draft selection, but after being a finalist the last six seasons, Boselli finally kicked the door down to claim his gold jacket.
Here are some of the many reactions that were posted on Twitter as the football community (especially in Jacksonville) expressed their excitement for the former Jags left tackle:
