The Jacksonville Jaguars are another young franchise that has had their fair share of good players, but none like offensive tackle Tony Boselli. Standing at 6'7 and weighing in at 325lbs, Boselli was extremely nimble and continously kept his shoulders squared to his opponents. Every offensive lineman out there should be studying Boselli and mimicking his game as much as they could if they wish to successful on the football field. Boselli defined a living brick wall during his tenure in the NFL.
After receiving All-American rights in three out of four seasons as a member of the USC Trojans, Boselli was selected 2nd overall by the Jacksonville Jaguarsin the 1995 NFL Draft. Boselli was also the Jaguars first-ever NFL Draft pick. In 1998, Boselli was honored with Offensive Lineman of the Year and earned five Pro Bowl nods, and three First-Team All-Pro roster slots in his eight season NFL career. Boselli started 90 games of the 91 he was listed active for. Unfortunately, Boselli's career was cut short due to a shoulder injury and he retired in 2002 as a member of the Houston Texans.
Chefs made their way into celebrity land a while ago. But how many celebrities that weren’t trained as professional cooks are actually whizzes in the kitchen? Here are several that come to mind.
Actress Julia Roberts is confident about her cooking skills. “I’m quite a good cook,” she told E! News. “I’m like a closet home ec teacher…I can really cook anything.” Roberts has said she often cooks fish for herself and her kids. And speaking of her three children, “They think that I’m a good cook,” Roberts told People. “They actually told me that I should open a restaurant.” She also relishes cooking for the holidays, particularly shredded Brussel sprouts. Roberts hasn’t published a cookbook, but we did find recipes attributed to her for peach crisp and banana hemp muffins. Or you can make the same summer salad the actress supposedly eats.
Chrissy Teigen started off as a supermodel. Then her love of cooking filtered into her professional life too. At this point, she’s created recipes for a limited Blue Apron release and also just launched her own home and cooking line at Target named “Cravings,” after the two cookbooks she’s released. Teigen describes cooking as “a time of peace” for herself. So maybe peace out to her tuna melt sandwich or the fried chicken wings that are a favorite of her husband, John Legend.
Lady Gaga, whose real name is Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, comes from a cooking Italian family. Her father started his own restaurant in New York and also published a cookbook. And apparently, Lady Gaga has inherited the family’s cooking genes. Her Instagram account occasionally features photos of her culinary activities. Sure, sometimes it’s topless cooking. But other times it’s more poignant like in the post she shared about her bringing food to the family of her dear friend who passed away. Want to try a Gaga/Germanotta family favorite? Check out her recipe for whole wheat pasta with a sweet fennel sauce.
