On Wednesday, the Pro Football Hall of Fame again reduced its 2025 class list to 25 semifinalists, which includes three former Indianapolis Colts.
WR Reggie Wayne
DE Robert Mathis
K Adam Vinatieri
Wayne, who is currently the Colts receivers coach, would also spend his entire career in Indianapolis where he was a six-time Pro Bowler and one-time All-Pro. Wayne totaled 14,345 receiving yards in his career with 82 touchdown receptions over 211 games.
Mathis, meanwhile, played with the Colts his entire career, from 2003 to 2016, appearing in 192 games. Mathis finished his career with 54 forced fumbles, 108 tackles for loss, 141 quarterback hits and 123 sacks. Mathis was a five time Pro Bowler and one-time All-Pro.
Lastly, after 10 years in New England, Vinatieri would spend 14 with the Colts. With Indianapolis specifically, Vinatieri made 85.3 percent of his field goal attempts. He was a three-time Pro Bowler and a three-time All-Pro in his career.
Back in September, the NFL announced 167 modern-era nominees for the 2025 Hall of Fame class. That original list included eight former Colts members.
Since then, that number of nominees has been reduced to 50 and now to 25. From here, another vote will take place, trimming the number of nominees down to only 15 before the selection committee will place its final votes for the official 2025 class.
