NFL Week 12 - The Hall of Fame has announced its 26 semifinalists for the Class of 2022. First-time eligible players include Anquan Boldin, Devin Hester, Andre Johnson, Robert Mathis, Steve Smith, DeMarcus Ware and Vince Wilfork.
It's an interesting class this year, in part because while there are quite a few interesting and worthy names, there doesn't seem to be any absolute must-haves first-time inductees; no Peyton Mannings or Calvin Johnsons among them. That may leave more room this year for some players who have been knocking on the door for years to finally get their due.
