Also making the semifinalist list once again is Torry Holt, who played for the Jaguars during the 2009 season but spent the majority of his career with the St. Louis Rams. Former Jaguars wide receiver Jimmy Smith was among the 167 initial PFHOF Class of 2025 nominees announced in September.

Tony Boselli became the first Jaguars player to be enshrined in Canton in the PFHOF’s Class of 2022. Boselli, an offensive lineman for Jacksonville from 1995 to 2001, was elected in his sixth consecutive time as a finalist for the honor.

Boselli was joined in the Class of 2022 by Jacksonville native and Green Bay Packers safety LeRoy Butler.

PFHOF said the next step in the selection process comes when the semifinalists are trimmed to 15 Modern-Era Player Finalists. That list increases to 20 Finalists with the inclusion of three Seniors, one Coach, and one Contributor.

The Hall of Fame’s selection committee will select the Class of 2025 in advance of Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans on Sunday, Feb. 9, 2025. The class will be announced live on the “NFL Honors” telecast and enshrined in Canton in August.
