Mike Holmgren, Sterling Sharpe move closer to Pro Football Hall of Fame inclusion

Former Green Bay Packers Mike Holmgren and Sterling Sharpe are one big step closer to being inducted in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

Holmgren, the Packers coach from 1992-1998, was the single coach from among nine semifinalists recommended to hall voters. Sharpe, a receiver for the Packers from 1988 to 1994, was among three senior members chosen for a final vote.

To make the hall of fame, finalists must receive approval by 80% of the members of the full selection committee, which will meet in February during Super Bowl week.
