Tony Boselli Previews Jaguars’ Challenging Test Following 13-4 Season

At the NFL Annual Meeting in Phoenix, Tony Boselli reflected on the Jacksonville Jaguars’ breakout campaign. He outlined priorities as the club prepares for the next season.

Early months and new role

Boselli was hired on Feb. 3, 2025, after a career in broadcasting. The executive vice president of football operations spot returned to the franchise for the first time since Tom Coughlin held it in 2018.

He noted 14 months have flown by since his hiring. Boselli said working closely with owner Shad Khan and general manager James Gladstone changed how Sundays felt.

Season results and expectations

The Jaguars finished 13-4 and won the AFC South. They closed the regular season with an eight-game winning streak but lost in the first playoff round.

Tony Boselli said the organization must convert last season’s momentum into consistent, year-over-year success. He previews a challenging test as the team aims to defend its division title.

Trevor Lawrence’s late surge

Through 11 games, Lawrence had 14 touchdown passes and 12 interceptions. He rebounded strongly by throwing 15 touchdowns and no interceptions in the final six regular-season games.

Lawrence finished fifth in MVP voting. Boselli credited head coach Liam Coen, offensive coordinator Grant Udinski, and Lawrence’s own adjustments for the turnaround.

Travis Hunter and Brian Thomas Jr.

Travis Hunter missed most of the season after a right knee injury required surgery. The club remains bullish on his potential at both defensive back and wide receiver.

Brian Thomas Jr. experienced a steep sophomore decline. His numbers fell from 87 catches, 1,282 yards, and 10 touchdowns to 48 catches, 707 yards, and two touchdowns.

Thomas had six drops and missed three games. Boselli stressed the team still believes Thomas can regain form and be a key downfield threat.

Roster moves and team philosophy

The Jaguars made in-season moves, including trading for receiver Jakobi Meyers. Cole Van Lanen kept the left tackle job, and the staff prioritized playing the best athletes, regardless of salary.

Boselli emphasized organizational growth across the entire building. He repeated that last year’s 13-4 record does not grant a head start this season.

Outlook

If Lawrence sustains his late-season play, Hunter returns healthy, and Thomas rebounds, the Jaguars can be AFC contenders. Boselli warned the team must prove itself again on the field.
