The list of 122 will eventually be paired down to just five with a bunch more coming from senior nominees, contributors, and coaches. As many as 20 former NFL members will be inducted next year.
Richmond Webb and Zach Thomas lead the former Miami Dolphins potentials and they will be joined by former Dolphins punter Reggie Roby and corner back Troy Vincent. Having their names on the list at this early stage is nothing new. Thomas and Webb have both been on this list but neither have made it very far.
