The Pro Football Hall of Fame's Class of 2025 is down to its final 50 modern-era candidates and five long-time Patriots greats are among those to advance.
Rodney Harrison, a 2023 Pro Football Hall of Fame finalist, leads the way and is joined by fellow defender Vince Wilfork. Logan Mankins represents the offensive side of the ball alongside the original no. 87 Ben Coates, while kicker Adam Vinatieri makes it to the top 50 in his first year of eligibility.
Other notable NFL greats to advance include Patriots nemesis Eli Manning, Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch and Legion of Boom founding members Earl Thomas and Kam Chancellor.
