One of Ohio State’s all-time great running backs is a semifinalist for the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
Eddie George was named Wednesday as one of 26 semifinalists for the Pro Football Hall of Fame’s class of 2022, marking the first time George has been selected as a semifinalist for enshrinement in Canton.
During an appearance on NFL Network minutes after the semifinalists were announced, George said he was “floored and honored” by the recognition from the Hall of Fame’s selection committee.
“It's such an honor to be considered for the NFL Hall of Fame. Something that's completely out of your control, you try not to think about it, but to be considered for this, a semifinalist, is tremendous,” George said.
