13. Tony Boselli

There is a very good chance that Bosseli is enshrined in Canton within the next calendar year, but he has been snubbed multiple times up to the writing of this piece.

Boselli was one of the best players of the early Jacksonville Jaguars teams. He was the second overall pick by the Jags in the 1995 NFL Draft, and immediately became one of the best tackles in the NFL. From 1996-2000, he was a Pro Bowler in every season, keeping the pocket clean for Mark Brunell to throw to Jimmy Smith and Keenan McCardell.

The Jaguars made a surprising run to the AFC Championship Game in 1996, defeating Denver on the road in the Divisional Round as heavy underdogs before falling to New England in the AFC Championship Game, one game shy of the Super Bowl.

Boselli suffered an injury that would keep him from playing any longer in 2001. Had he kept going, he could have ended up in the conversation of the best lineman of all time, and he would certainly already be in the Hall of Fame. He is expected to get in as early as 2022, but he has been waiting to get the call for over a decade.
