Former New England Patriots guard Logan Mankins, linebacker Mike Vrabel and head coach Bill Parcells are one step closer to a red jacket.
All three have been named 2023 finalists for the Patriots Hall of Fame, the organization unveiled Thursday.
Each had previously been selected by the nomination committee as finalists. This cycle marks the second straight for Mankins and the seventh straight for Vrabel, while Parcells has now been a finalist five times altogether dating back to 2011.
Mankins, 41, landed in Foxborough at pick No. 32 overall in the 2005 NFL draft’s first round.
