A total of three former Kansas City Chiefs players have been selected as semifinalists. This group was reduced from an initial group of 129 nominees, which included 10 total former Chiefs players. This is the largest number of semifinalists since they adopted the process of reducing the list of nominees back in 2004.
This group will again be reduced to 15 finalists in the coming months. Then, the 49-person selection committee will select up to five modern-era members of the Pro Football Hall Class of 2023 in advance of Super Bowl LVII, with the final reveal coming during the NFL Honors ceremony on Feb. 9.
