Boselli anchored an offensive line that protected Steve McNair to multiple 4,000-yard passing seasons and helped the team reach Super Bowl XXXIV in his first year with the franchise. While he did not win any individual awards specifically during his time in Tennessee compared to his Jaguars tenure, his presence was instrumental in the team's playoff runs. His lasting impact is seen in how Titans fans view the left tackle position; it remains a standard of excellence that every future player is measured against.
