The Pro Football Hall of Fame reduced the list of Modern-Era Nominees for the Class of 2025, to 50 candidates, and three former Steelers are on the list.
Those who remain candidates from the initial list of 167 nominees include kicker Gary Anderson, linebacker James Harrison, and receiver Hines Ward.
The list of Modern-Era nominees will be reduced to 25 semifinalists in about four weeks. Reduction votes also are occurring in the Seniors, Coach and Contributor categories. Eventually, 20 Finalists will be presented at the Selection Committee's annual meeting next year in advance of Super Bowl LIX: 15 Modern-Era Players, three Seniors, one Coach and one Contributor.
While there is no set number for any class of Enshrinees, the Hall of Fame's selection process bylaws stipulate that between four and eight new members will be selected.
The Pro Football Hall of Fame's Class of 2025 will be announced at "NFL Honors" in New Orleans, La., in February and enshrined in August in Canton.
