Former All-Pro quarterback Michael Vick is among four former Eagles players nominated for induction to the College Football Hall of Fame for the first time this year.
Former Philadelphia defensive tackle and Miami Hurricane legend Jerome Brown also made the list.
The National Football Foundation released Monday a list of 78 players and nine coaches from major college football who are on the Hall of Fame ballot. One hundred-one player and 32 coaches from lower divisions of college football are also up for consideration.
Vick, who led Virginia Tech to the BCS championship game against Florida State as a redshirt freshman in 1999, is among the most notable players appearing on the ballot in his first year of eligibility.
- There were a handful of requirements to make the ballot.
- You must have been named a First-Team All-American during your playing days.
- A minimum of 10 years must have passed since your final season of college football. No more than 50 years can have passed since your last college football game.
- Post-football records and academic record matters.
College coaches can become nominated three years after retirement, but active coaches can be selected if they reach 75.
Votes will be submitted to the NFF’s Honors Courts. They’ll deliberate and decide on the 2024 College Football Hall of Fame class, with an announcement slated for early January.
