The Rams will try to send a few more players to Canton in 2024 when the next class of Hall of Famers is inducted. On Tuesday, the Pro Football Hall of Fame announced 173 modern-era nominees for the Class of 2024 and among them were Steven Jackson, Torry Holt, Marc Bulger and London Fletcher.
It’s the fourth year in a row that both Jackson and Holt have been nominated for the Hall of Fame. Holt has been a finalist in each of the last four years, so he’s knocking on the door of Canton and will hopefully get in soon.
This is Bulger’s first time being nominated for the Hall of Fame. The other quarterbacks nominated this year are Randall Cunningham, Jake Delhomme, Doug Flutie, Rich Gannon, Jeff Garcia, Donovan McNabb, Steve McNair, Tony Romo and Michael Vick.
Jackson rushed for 10,138 yards in nine years with the Rams, including eight straight years with at least 1,000 yards rushing. Holt led the league in receiving yards twice and made the Pro Bowl seven times, including one year where he was a first-team All-Pro. Bulger played eight years with the Rams and made the Pro Bowl twice, compiling 122 career touchdown passes and one playoff win.
Fletcher began his career with the Rams and spent four years in St. Louis, playing 64 games and making 48 starts. He finished with 353 tackles in St. Louis and 2,039 in his career.
The list of nominees will be trimmed down to just 25 semifinalists in November.
