Former Steelers Hines Ward and James Harrison among Hall of Fame semifinalists

The Pro Football Hall of Fame announced the 28 modern-era semifinalists for the class of 2023, and former Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Hines Ward and linebacker James Harrison are among them.

This is the seventh straight year that Ward has been a semifinalist. Ward spent all 14 of his NFL seasons with the Steelers and finished his career with exactly 1,000 receptions.

For Harrison, this is his first time being a semifinalist. Harrison is the Steelers’ career sack leader with 80. That record should fall before the end of the season, however, as long as T.J. Watt can stay healthy.

Let us know in the comments if you think Ward or Harrison will be finalists this year or better yet will either guy make the Hall of Fame.
