On Wednesday, the Pro Football Hall of Fame announced the final 50 modern-era candidates for the 2025 call of the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Next up will be the announcement of the 25 modern-era semifinalists.
The Pittsburgh Steelers got three players in the final 50. Wide receiver Hines Ward, outside linebacker James Harrison and kicker Gary Anderson are among the final 50 modern-era candidates for the Pro Football Hall of Fame Class of 2025.

Based on the strength of the 2025 class, all three former Steelers are probably long shots to make the Hall. Anderson is in the same group as Adam Vinatieri and there aren’t going to be two kickers and both Ward and Harrison face stiff competition at their respective positions.
