Prolific receiver Sterling Sharpe and Super Bowl-winning coach Mike Holmgren have advanced to the final stage of voting for the 2025 Pro Football Hall of Fame class. Sharpe, a standout player for the Green Bay Packers from 1988-94, was selected as one of three finalists in the Seniors category, alongside Maxie Baughan and Jim Tyrer. Sharpe's impressive career included setting an NFL record with 108 catches for 1,461 yards and 13 touchdowns in 1992. He finished his career with 595 catches for 8,134 yards and 65 TDs, trailing only Jerry Rice in receptions and TD catches over his seven-year tenure.

Baughan, a dominant linebacker in the 1960s for the Philadelphia Eagles and Los Angeles Rams, was also named a finalist in the Seniors category. He helped the Eagles secure an NFL title in his rookie year and earned nine Pro Bowl selections during his 10-year career, solidifying his place as one of the top linebackers of his era.
