Butler, a former Packers safety who was largely credited for starting the famed Lambeau Leap, was named a finalist for the second straight year.

Soaring Ravens canโt afford letdown against lowly Jaguars
The Ravens would love to savor the memory of Lamar Jackson coming off the bench to throw a pivotal fourth-down touchdown pass before setting up Justin Tucker for a 55-yard winning field goal. So if the Ravens experience a letdown Sunday against the lowly Jacksonville Jaguars (1-12), then Jackson's heroics in that epic 47-42 win over the Browns could turn out to be meaningless. โThese are professional players, and they understand that to make the last win matter, you have to win the next one," Ravens coach John Harbaugh said. โI donโt know if itโs hitting their stride or just really executing on a real high level, both in the run game and in the pass game," coach Doug Marrone said of Baltimore. Rookie Jake Luton started three games while Minshew was out with a thumb injury and Mike Glennon started the following three games.

What Jimmy Smith, Fred Taylor and Tony Boselli are saying about their Hall of Fame chances
This year there are 130 players on the list, including Tony Boselli, who has been a finalist for the last three years as well as former Jaguars Jimmy Smith and Fred Taylor. But he has never been selected as one of the 25 finalists for the Hall of Fame. Then the Hall of Fame committee will choose the five individuals who will be inducted in the class of 2021. And every eligible player ahead of Taylor on the all-time rushing list is in the Hall of Fame. Boselli said in a text to News4Jax:โItโs always an honor to be nominated for the Hall of Fame.

Fred Taylor on All-25 ranking: 'What a joke'
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - Fred Taylor had a pointed message for those who questioned his place in Jaguars history.

Who wore it best? Top Jaguars to don No.26-No. 50
Fred Taylor -- This was one of the easiest decisions on the entire list. Taylor is one of five members in the Pride of the Jaguars.

Had 13,632 total yards, 70 TDs in Jacksonville.
