Jacksonville Jaguars:  Tony Boselli

Most of the top names involved with the Jacksonville Jaguars that could be in Canton have a “yeah, but” attached to them. For Jimmy Smith it was his off-the-field issues. For Fred Taylor it was produced some really good seasons but no great ones. Now for Tony Boselli it’s about he didn’t play long enough. The former left tackle only made it through 91 career games spanning seven seasons before he was forced to walk away due to injury at the age of 30.

Before that unfortunate turn of events though? Many agree he was hands down the best blind side protector in football. The guy was almost impossible to beat with any sort of pass rush. Big, physical, agile and nasty. A five-time Pro Bowler, he was instrumental to the Jaguars becoming contenders right out of the gate in 1996 and 1999 when they reached the AFC championship in their second and fifth seasons of existence respectively. Can the voters see the greatness for what it was and not get caught up in the lack of longevity?
