The Pro Football Hall of Fame announced the 15 modern-era finalists for the 2020 class and two Pittsburgh Steelers made the cut. Offensive guard Alan Faneca and safety Troy Polamalu are both on the ballot for this year.
For Faneca, this is his fifth time making the list. Faneca is easily one of the best all-around guards of the modern era but unfortunately is part of a crowded group waiting to get in.
Polamalu, on the other hand, is on the ballot for the first time and is a near-lock to make it. During his time in the NFL, Polamalu was responsible for as many highlight-reel plays as any defensive player in the league.
Here are all 15 finalists:
Troy Polamalu
Reggie Wayne
Torry Holt
John Lynch
Edgerrin James
Richard Seymour
Steve Atwater
Zach Thomas
Isaac Bruce
Leroy Butler
Tony Boselli
Alan Faneca
Steve Hutchinson
Bryant Young
Sam Mills
