JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Fred Taylor had a pointed message for those who questioned his place in Jaguars history.
The Jaguars’ career rushing leader (11,271) was none too pleased about his spot on the Jaguars All-25 on Wednesday, a list voted on by members of the local media which ranks the top players in franchise history.

Taylor teed off the voting panel on Twitter, reminding those in a not-so-subtle way what he thought of the spot.
“I’m not sure who voted but they missed. What were you guys doing for the 11 YEARS I carried the team. One day someone (other than me) will recognize how valuable I was. I did something only 21 players in history of the game done at my position.”
