Back in September, the Pro Football Hall of Fame announced a list of over 400 individuals nominated to receive the sport’s highest individual honor in 2025. Over the last week, that list was reduced in a first round of cuts, bringing it down to 118 still standing in the race for the famous golden jackets.
Split into four distinct categories — modern-era player, senior player, coach, contributor — a total of 15 men associated with the New England Patriots find themselves on the list.
(M = Modern era, S = Senior, * = offseason member only)
Offensive nominees
TE Ben Coates (M), RB Chuck Foreman (S), WR Torry Holt* (M), G Logan Mankins (M), WR Stanley Morgan (S), QB Jim Plunkett (S), RB Fred Taylor (M), WR Reggie Wayne* (M)
The offensive nominees who advanced to the next round include some of the best players in Patriots history.
