The Arizona Cardinals might have a former player or two end up as Hall of Famers. The 2020 Hall of Fame class has been cut down to 15 finalists.
Among the finalists, there are two former Cardinals players.
They spent the last parts of their careers in Arizona.
One is running back Edgerrin James. He had his best years with the Indianapolis Colts, playing there seven seasons and led the league twice in rushing.
He played three seasons for the Cardinals from 2006-2008. He had over 1,150 yards and over 1,200 yards his first two years before he played a part-time role in 2008 when the Cardinals made it to the Super Bowl.
The other is offensive lineman Alan Faneca. He was one of the best guards of his generation, playing primarily for the Steelers and Jets. He played one season for the Cardinals, his final season in 2010.
The 2020 class will be announced at the NFL Honors show the night before the Super Bowl.
