Jacksonville Jaguars. Fred Taylor. 15. player. 52. <p>The Jacksonville Jaguars don’t have a lot of great candidates considering they joined the league in 1995 as an expansion team and many of their first-round picks didn’t pan out for one reason or another.</p> <p>I went with Fred Taylor, the franchise’s all-time leading rusher, over Tony Boselli who was headed for a Hall of Fame-type career with five Pro Bowl selections from 1996-2000 before injury ended his career prematurely and Maurice Jones-Drew.</p> <p>Taylor was the No. 9 pick in the 1995 draft, four spots after Chicago took Curtis Enis, and the first of three first-round picks to come from Florida for the Jaguars. Although, Taylor turned out far better than Reggie Nelson and Derrick Harvey after rushing for 11,271 yards in 11 years with the Jaguars.</p> <p>During that time he had seven, 1,ooo-yard seasons, made one Pro Bowl team and led the NFL in rushing yards per game in 2000 with 107.6. He played his last two years with the New England Patriots and his 11,695 rushing yards ranks 15th all-time.</p>.
