Torry Holt will attempt to be the second former Rams receiver to make it to Canton in as many years. After Isaac Bruce was elected last year, the Pro Football Hall of Fame announced on Tuesday that Holt has been named a finalist for the Class of 2021, his second straight year as a finalist.
He’s one of just 15 finalists who have a chance to make the Hall of Fame this year, alongside the likes of Peyton Manning, Reggie Wayne, Charles Woodson and Calvin Johnson.

In 10 seasons with the Rams, Holt caught 869 passes for 12,660 yards and 74 touchdowns. He ranks second in franchise history in receptions and receiving yards.
Holt was a first-team All-Pro selection in 2003, as well as a seven-time Pro Bowler. His 921 career receptions rank 21st all-time in NFL history, while his 13,382 yards put him 16th.
Twice he led the NFL in receiving yards, and he also topped the league in receptions once, recording eight straight seasons of at least 100 yards.
The Hall of Fame selection committee will select four to eight finalists to make it to Canton this year, with the 2021 class being announced the week of Super Bowl LV. The Class of 2020, which includes Bruce, will also be enshrined this year after the ceremony was postponed last summer due to the pandemic.
