NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Kevin Mawae, who finished an excellent career playing center for the Tennessee Titans from 2006-09, is a finalist for the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
He and 14 others will be debated by the Hall of Fame selection committee (on which I have a spot) on Feb. 4, and as many as five will be elected.
Mawae played for Seattle from 1994 to 1997 and for the New York Jets from 1998 to 2005.
He continued to play at a high level through his final four NFL seasons in Tennessee, during which he was part of the group that blocked for Chris Johnson's 2,000-yard season.
