Former Green Bay Packers wide receiver Sterling Sharpe was not among the three finalists selected by the Pro Football Hall of Fame Seniors Committee on Aug. 22.
Sharpe had been one of 12 semifinalists eligible for the recognition.
One player who was named a finalist was Steve McMichael, the longtime Chicago Bears defensive tackle who played 16 regular-season games and two playoff games as a member of the Packers in 1994, the final NFL season for both McMichael and Sharpe. McMichael is joined by Denver Broncos linebacker Randy Gradishar and New York Titans and Oakland Raiders receiver Art Powell.
