While the Hall of Fame has been a frustrating process for Jacksonville Jaguars fans, the belief is that someone from the franchise will be named to the group within the next five years. With Tony Boselli becoming a finalist for the fourth consecutive time last season some think he’ll be the first Jaguar voted in, but if it’s not him, it almost certainly will be running back Fred Taylor.
When asked about how he felt about his chances to be voted into the Hall of Fame by TMZ Sports, Taylor said that it’s “no doubt” in his mind that it will happen one day as he was named a semifinalist for the 2020 class. Unlike the fans of the Jags, he also stated that he has faith in the voters to make the right choice eventually.
It seems that Taylor is a little more confident in his chances to make the Hall of Fame now that he’s on the voter’s radar. Previously, he expressed his frustration with being under-appreciated back in 2017 but has made progress towards getting in the Hall of Fame since.
Taylor finished his career with 11,695 total rushing yards (good for 17th amongst all NFL rushers) and 66 touchdowns. He also had 2,384 yards and eight touchdowns as a receiver.
Afterward, Taylor discussed his thoughts on the quarterbacks competition between Gardner Minshew II and Nick Foles. He stated that he feels the locker room may be more behind Minshew simply because of the chemistry they’ve built with him, but did defend Foles who was hampered by an injury Week 1.
