Tony Boselli Named No. 1 Jaguars All-25 Presented By Sharpie

August 1, 2019

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Former All-Pro LT Tony Boselli has been named No. 1 on the Jaguars All-25, the club announced today. Jaguars All-25 presented by Sharpie is a collection of the top 25 non-active players in franchise history, as voted on by members of the local media. The Jaguars’ silver celebration kicked off in mid-March with the start of the new league year and the unveiling of the team’s 25th season commemorative logo designed to embody the spirit of DUUUVAL.

“Just being included in the Jaguars ALL-25 is a huge honor and being named the number one player is amazing and very humbling considering all the great players who have played for the Jaguars,” Boselli said. “When I was picked by the Jaguars in 1995 I could not have imagined what a big part of my life this franchise and the City of Jacksonville would become. I want to thank the entire Jaguars organization, the amazing Jaguars fans and the all the media that covered my entire career. It’s great to be a Jaguar!”

Boselli, 6-7, 324, was the second overall pick in the 1995 NFL Draft and the first-ever draft selection by the Jaguars. Boselli, a five-time Pro Bowl selection (1996-2000) and three-time All-Pro (1997-99), started 90 of 91 career games from 1995-2001. During his seven seasons in the NFL, Boselli allowed only 15.5 sacks, and was the first Jaguars players to be inducted into the team’s “Pride of the Jaguars.” Boselli’s dominance was recognized when he was named to the NFL’s All-Decade team of the 1990s. For the last three seasons, Boselli has been a finalist for the Pro Football Hall of Fame. He is the first Jaguars player in franchise history to be named a finalist for the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

“For him to not only live up to his draft status but live beyond the draft status; to be a generational left tackle to be as good as he was; when he gets in the Hall of Fame, and he will get in the Hall of Fame, it will be the most remarkable story along those lines maybe in NFL history,” said John Oehser, Jaguars.com senior writer and a Jaguars All-25 voter. “Not only did he become the face of the franchise while he was playing, he remains an icon in Jacksonville. It’s hard to imagine a better first pick in draft than Tony Boselli was for the Jaguars.”

Currently, Boselli lives in Ponte Vedra with his wife, Angi. The couple has five children: Andrew, Adam, Ashli, Alexis and Ansli. Boselli serves as a Jaguars radio analyst on the team’s play-by-play team on 1010XL, as well as an NFL analyst for Westwood One. Boselli has been a part of multiple business endeavors, including being the founding partner of Healthy Schools, LLC. Boselli also served as the offensive line coach at the Episcopal School of Jacksonville, working for former teammate and the team’s head coach, Mark Brunell. He and his wife Angi also founded the Boselli Foundation during his rookie year in 1995 and the organization is still very active in the Jacksonville community, working with at-risk youth and helping them to cultivate high self-esteem and to succeed at home, at school and at play.
