Giants great Tiki Barber not among finalists for Hall of Fame

Former New York Giants star running back Tiki Barber is not among the 15 Finalists in the Modern-Era Player category for the Pro Football Hall of Fame’s Class of 2024.

On Wednesday, the list of 15 former standouts were announced as finalists by the Hall. Barber was among the group of semifinalists being considered for possible enshrinement.

From the Hall of Fame:

Comprising the Class of 2024’s Modern-Era list of candidates are nine players who reached this stage in the selection process when the Class of 2023 was chosen, two players in their first year of eligibility and four players who are Finalists for the first time after a combined 40 years of eligibility.

The slate of candidates in the Modern-Era Player category will be considered when the Hall of Fame’s Selection Committee meets prior to Super Bowl LVIII. The Class of 2024 will be unveiled publicly Feb. 8 during the “NFL Honors presented by Invisalign” broadcast from Las Vegas on CBS Television Network and NFL Network at 9 p.m. ET.

Barber played his entire career for the Giants from 1997-2006. He is the team’s All-Time leading rusher, a Ring of Honor enshrinee and a three-time Pro Bowler.
