Earlier this month, the Pro Football Hall of Fame announced 183 names of players that had been nominated for the Pro Football Hall of Fame’s Class of 2025 in the Seniors category. To be considered in this group, an individual must have last played at least 25 full seasons ago (1999 or earlier). Qualifications include five years of service and at least one recognized postseason honor.
The newly created Seniors Screening Committee will reduce this list to 50 nominees to be considered by a separate Seniors Blue-Ribbon Committee. That committee will narrow the list to three finalists who will qualify for possible election to the HOF.
