A day cemented in Jaguars' history.

Tony Boselli Jr., the franchise's first cornerstone is now the first pro football immortal.

After six years as a Hall finalist and seven as a semifinalist, the wait is finally over. On Saturday, August 6, 2022, at Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium in Canton Ohio, Boselli became the first person associated with the Jaguars to be enshrined to the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

Duval fans showed up in teal to support and applauded his emotional speech, and chants of DUUUVAL could be heard in the background.

It was an emotional day, and Jaguars Twitter came to join in. Congratulations Tony, from some of your biggest fans.

Lots of Jaguars here to see their first player inducted. @jpaw1002 pic.twitter.com/g3WWrhYfTa
