The Pro Football Hall of Fame announced 24 finalists for the Class of 2023 in the senior and coach/contributor categories on Wednesday, and two former Rams players were among those in contention as senior candidates.
Cornerback Eddie Meador and linebacker Maxie Baughan made it to the next step as finalists, and they’re joined by 10 other players in the senior category. A senior is considered any player who last played in the NFL no later than the 1996 season.
Baughan played five years with the Rams from 1966-1970, making the Pro Bowl four times and a total of nine times in his career. He also had 18 interceptions in 12 NFL seasons.
