"The attention and the spotlight that shone brightly on Shahid Khan on Wednesday made the generally private man just a little bit uncomfortable.

But the reason for it all made Khan smile brightly behind his handlebar mustache as NFL commissioner Roger Goodell introduced him at his first press conference as the confirmed owner of the Jacksonville Jaguars.

The National Football League's owners voted unanimously to approve the transfer of ownership of the Jaguars from Wayne Weaver to Khan. It was the first item on their agenda Wednesday, and they clapped for him as he re-entered the room, finally part of their exclusive club.

"Thank you very much and thank you for trusting us with the legacy of Jacksonville," Khan told Weaver as he began his press conference. "Roger, thank you very much, really for your support and guidance through the process. For me this is kind of a humbling day. It's really a realization of a lifelong American dream. I just want to share it with you, I'm totally committed to Jacksonville.""
