For the seventh time, Rams wide receiver Torry Holt was a finalist for the Pro Football Hall of Fame. For the seventh time, Holt’s name was not read at the NFL Honors show announcing the Hall of Fame class. Holt being left out of the Hall of Fame as long as he has been is something that has left those outside of the voters room confused. To most, Holt should be a Hall of Fame lock.
In the first few years of Holt’s eligibility, it made sense that he wasn’t getting in. When Holt first became eligible, there was a log jam at the wide receiver position and it was general consensus that players had to wait.
