CANTON, Ohio -- Two-time Super Bowl-winning coaches Tom Coughlin and Mike Shanahan and team owners Robert Kraft and Virginia McCaskey were among the 60 semifinalists announced Wednesday for the 2024 class of the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
The Hall's 12-person seniors committee trimmed a list of eligible player nominees to 31. Each semifinalist played his last game in professional football no later than 1998.
Separately, the Hall's 12-person coach/contributor committee reduced the list of nominated candidates to 29 semifinalists.
Unlike in February when cornerback Darrelle Revis and offensive lineman Joe Thomas were selected for enshrinement in their first year of eligibility for the Hall of Fame, none of the 31 players appears to be a lock for induction.
