Bears legend Steve McMichael is still in the mix to be inducted into the Hall of Fame next year after making the cut on a list of 12 senior player candidates Thursday. The next reduction is to no more than three final candidates Aug. 22.
It would be incredibly meaningful to McMichael, 65, and his wife Misty amid his battle with late-stage amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). It’s a tough field among the seniors — those who stopped playing no later than 1998 — that includes four-time All-Pro wide receiver Sterling Sharpe and MVP quarterback Ken Anderson, but McMichael’s candidacy is strong.
