JACKSONVILLE – This was the right person at the right time.
Tony Boselli in his first offseason as executive vice president of football operations needed someone to speak to Jaguars rookies about the organization, its history, its importance. It was a key, tone-setting moment.
One former player stood apart from the rest.
“Who better than Fred Taylor to sit in front of our rookies and talk about what it meant to be a pro – but also what it meant to be a Jaguar?” Boselli said.
Boselli, the Jaguars’ Hall of Fame left tackle who was hired as EVP in late January, joined senior writer John Oehser for this third episode of the EVPodcast. He discussed multiple issues, including the importance of opening 2025 minicamp practice at the Miller Electric Center to fans this past Saturday.
“At the end of the day, we want our fans engaged,” Boselli said. “I want Everbank Stadium filled. Not three quarters. Not two thirds. I don’t want to see empty seats. But for us to do that, it’s our job to engage the fans and put a product on the field they can be proud of and excited about.
