Multiple former New England Patriots players, including two longtime legends, have been voted in as two of the 25 semifinalists for the 2024 Pro Football Hall of Fame class.
For Patriots fans, the two names that immediately jump off on the list are former defensive tackle Vince Wilfork and safety Rodney Harrison.
Both are Patriots Hall of Famers and two-time Super Bowl winners with the franchise. Wilfork, who was drafted by the Patriots in 2004, was one of the most dominant defenders in team history, while Harrison completely reshaped the defensive backfield with his elite talent and leadership.
Linebacker James Harrison and running back Fred Taylor, two players that had quick pit stops in New England in their careers, were also listed among the semifinalists.
The next hurdle will be making it to the top-15 of the upcoming cutdown vote to be one step closer to becoming one of the five finalists for permanent enshrinement in Canton.
