The process of placing the greatest safety in NFL history into the Pro Football Hall of Fame continues as former Ed Reed becomes a semi-finalist for Canton, Ohio.
The first formality occurred in September when the voters nominated him for the Hall of Fame. This is now the second step of getting Reed fitted for a gold jacket.
Also joining Ed Reed as first-year eligible players: Champ Bailey and Tony Gonzalez. I’m confident all three make the cut as all three of these players were revolutionary in the NFL. Bailey produced one of, if not the greatest season ever by a cornerback while Gonzalez is heralded as the greatest tight end in NFL history.
