The Jacksonville Jaguars recently released a list of the top players in franchise history. Former standout running back Fred Taylor is not happy that Tony Boselli is above him on the list. Many players would be happy to be named the second-best player in a team's history, but Taylor was clearly outraged and took to Twitter to discuss it.
“I’m not sure who voted but they missed,” Taylor wrote on Twitter. “What were you guys doing for the 11 YEARS I carried the team. One day someone (other than me) will recognize how valuable I was. I did something only 21 players in history of the game done at my position.” #WhatAJoke”
Taylor rushed for 11,695 yards and 66 touchdowns in his career and was always considered one of the better running backs in the league, but not in many years was he actually considered the best. Taylor was never named a First-Team All-Pro and his stats never put him in the top five in rushing in any season.
Boselli's career was cut short by injury, but when he was playing, he was considered one of the best if not the best offensive lineman in football. He was named to the All-Pro list three years in a row. It's hard to argue with what he did on the field.
It's still up for discussion who really should be named the best player in Jaguars history, but it's clear that Taylor is not happy with the results of the media voting.
