Harrison, Wilfork, Vinatieri Advance as Pro Football Hall of Fame Semifinalists

The Pro Football Hall of Fame announced 25 Modern-Era Player Semifinalists for the Class of 2025 on Wednesday and the list includes three legendary former Patriots who have advanced in the voting, moving one step closer to enshrinement in Canton.

Rodney Harrison, Vince Wilfork, and Adam Vinatieri all made the cut, while former notable Patriots who did not advance past the 50-man cut include Logan Mankins and Ben Coates.

Harrison was a finalist in 2023 and has had plenty of advocates over the years for induction, including former Patriots head coach Bill Belichick who said Harrison would easily be on the list of all-time players that he coached.
