The Jacksonville Jaguars have 30 seasons in the books. Let’s debate their greatest players at every position.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Now, here are the nominees for Jacksonville’s All-Time Right Tackle.
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.
