Earlier this month, former Minnesota Vikings Chuck Foreman and Jim Marshall were chosen among a group of 182 senior nominees for selection into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Both made the initial cut from 182 to 60 senior candidates earlier this month. And on Tuesday, both of them advanced to a group of 31 candidates in a vote by the Hall of Fame’s Seniors Blue-Ribbon Committee.
They will now undergo further consideration, and in three weeks, the nine-member Seniors Blue-Ribbon Committee will reduce the number to nine candidates. Seniors Blue-Ribbon Committee voters will then meet in early December to discuss the playing careers of the nine Semifinalists.
