Legendary pass rusher Dwight Freeney is one step closer to the hall of fame.
He was named as 1-of-15 modern-era finalists for the Pro Football Hall of Fame on Wednesday, in his first year on the ballot. The seven-time Pro Bowl selection and Super Bowl Champion is now one step from becoming the ninth 'Cuse alumni to reach the hall of fame, which would move Syracuse into a tie for fifth for most selections.
The 15 finalists are: Jared Allen, Willie Anderson, Ronde Barber, Freeney, Devin Hester, Torry Holt, Andre Johnson, Albert Lewis, Darrelle Revis, Joe Thomas, Zach Thomas, DeMarcus Ware, Reggie Wayne, Patrick Willis and Darren Woodson.
