The committee that chooses who will forever be enshrined in the Hall of Fame will vote one last time on the Saturday before the Super Bowl. This Saturday vote, known as “Selection Saturday”, will determine which players will be inducted into the Hall of Fame.
The committee in early December reduced all eligible players to a list of 27 semi-finalists. Some big names left off the lists of finalists are Jimmy Johnson, Hines Ward, and Tory Holt.
Ray Lewis and Randy Moss seem they will easily get into the Hall of Fame. Others would extend the list further and include Brian Urlacher. We will see the final list around the Super Bowl, and see who will forever be enshrined in NFL history.
