The Jacksonville Jaguars are preparing for their 31st season as an NFL franchise.
To commemorate their history — and to provide content during the dry part of the offseason — we’d like your help in naming the team’s greatest players at every position.
Here are the nominees for Jacksonville’s All-Time Left Tackle.
Tony Boselli (1995-01)

Stats: 97 games played, 96 games started, 74 Approximate Value
Bio: The Jaguars’ first-ever draft pick, Boselli was selected second overall in 1995 and quickly became the face of the franchise.
He anchored Jacksonville’s offensive line through its successful early seasons, earning five Pro Bowl and three First-Team All-Pro recognitions in the process. Injuries shortened Boselli’s career to just seven seasons, but his dominant peak earned him enshrinement in the Pro Football Hall of Fame and a spot as the first inductee into the Pride of the Jaguars.
Eugene Monroe (2009-13)

Stats: 65 games played, 62 games started, 25 Approximate Value
Bio: Drafted eighth overall in 2009, Monroe immediately started at left tackle and brought consistency to a position in flux. He started 62 games across five seasons in Jacksonville before being traded to Baltimore in 2013. While not a Pro Bowler, Monroe was a reliable pass protector who played a key role during a transitional period for the franchise.
Cam Robinson (2017-24)

Stats: 94 games played, 94 games started, 41 Approximate Value
Bio: A second-round pick in 2017, Robinson stepped in as the Jaguars’ starting left tackle from Day 1. He helped lead the way during the team’s 2017 playoff run and remained a fixture on the line through multiple coaching regimes. Durability and penalties were occasional concerns, but Robinson brought toughness and experience to Jacksonville’s trenches for nearly a decade.
Khalif Barnes (2005-08)

Stats: 63 games played, 60 games started, 34 Approximate Value
Bio: Selected in the second round of the 2005 draft, Barnes started 60 games over four seasons, with all but 3 games at left tackle. His best stretch came during the Jaguars’ 2007 playoff campaign when he helped pave the way for one of the NFL’s top rushing attacks. Barnes departed in 2008 free agency but was a dependable presence in Jacksonville.

Leon Searcy (1996-99)

Stats: 71 games played, 71 games started, 39 Approximate Value
Bio: Signed as a free agent in 1996, Searcy brought veteran leadership and nasty run-blocking to the Jaguars’ right tackle spot. He started every game during the team’s four-year playoff run from 1996 to 1999 and was a key cog in one of the NFL’s most balanced offenses. The former Miami Hurricane great is still regarded as one of the best free agent signings in team history.
Maurice Williams (2001-09)

Stats: 108 games played, 103 games started, 54 Approximate Value
Bio: A second-round pick in 2001, Williams brought versatility and durability to Jacksonville’s offensive line for nearly a decade. He started at both guard and tackle during his career and was a mainstay during the team’s mid-2000s resurgence. Williams played over 100 total games, making him one of the longest-tenured linemen in franchise history.
Jawaan Taylor (2019-22)
/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/26072139/1425362677.jpg)
Stats: 68 games played, 68 games started, 28 Approximate Value
Bio: Drafted in the second round in 2019, Taylor started every game at right tackle during his four seasons in Jacksonville. Though penalties and inconsistency plagued his early years, he put together a strong 2022 campaign that earned him a lucrative free-agent deal with the Chiefs. Taylor’s 66 straight starts in the regular season rank among the longest streaks for a Jaguars offensive lineman.
Jermey Parnell (2015-18)
/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/26072140/1063761514.jpg)
Stats: 60 games played, 60 games started, 25 Approximate Value
Bio: Signed in 205 free agency after a stint in Dallas, Parnell solidified the Jaguars’ right tackle spot during a time of rebuild. He was a key part of the dominant run game that powered the 2017 AFC Championship run. Parnell started 60 games over five seasons in Jacksonville.
