Isaac Bruce, Torry Holt among 15 Hall of Fame finalists for 2020

Torry Holt is a first-time finalist, while this is Isaac Bruce’s fourth time as one.

Two former Rams stars could be on their way to Canton this year. The Pro Football Hall of Fame announced the 15 modern-era finalists for the 2020 class and both Torry Holt and Isaac Bruce made the cut.

This is Holt’s first time being a finalist, but Bruce is in familiar territory. This marks his fourth selection as a Hall of Fame finalist, making it each year dating back to 2017.

Bruce played for the Rams from 1994-2007, recording 942 catches for 14,109 yards and 84 touchdowns in that span. He finished his career with the 49ers, catching 82 passes for 1,099 yards and seven touchdowns in two seasons.

Holt played 10 years with the Rams from 1999-2008. During that time, he caught 869 passes for 12,660 yards and 74 touchdowns. In his final NFL season with the Jaguars, he had 51 receptions for 722 yards.

They were both an integral part of the Greatest Show on Turf with the Rams, helping St. Louis win Super Bowl XXXIV. They also reached the Super Bowl following the 2001 season, but lost to the Patriots.

Holt was a seven-time Pro Bowler and led the NFL in receiving twice. Bruce made the Pro Bowl four times and was No. 1 in receiving once in 1996. Holt’s shorter career hurts his case for Canton, but he was one of the most productive receivers during his playing days.
