On Tuesday the Pro Football Hall of Fame announced that 129 modern-era players were nominated for the class of 2023. Of those players, 24 of them spent time in Foxborough.
While a few of those players’ tenures in New England may have been brief and forgettable, fans will recognize most names. Among the players to received nominations are Vince Wilfork, Willie McGinest, Rodney Harrison, Tedy Bruschi, Troy Brown, Darelle Revis, Logan Mankins, Wes Welker, Corey Dillon, and Ben Coates.
Both Wilfork and Harrison have appeared on the ballot before. Both players won two Super Bowls in New England, Wilfork in 2004, his first year in New England, and 2014, his last.
