Morten Andersen Is A Finalist For The Hall of Fame

K Major · 01-03-2017, 08:16 PM

A strong three-man class of first-time eligibles, and all five men who just missed the cut last year headline the list of 15 finalists for the Pro Football Hall of Fame announced tonight.

That group will be narrowed down to no more than five modern-era finalists, in voting conducted the day before the Super Bowl.

The first-timers are led by running back LaDainian Tomlinson, defensive end Jason Taylor, and safety Brian Dawkins, who entered an already solid group of candidates.

Three of last year’s 15 finalists also return to the room: Wide receiver Terrell Owens, kicker Morten Andersen and guard Alan Faneca.
Last year’s finalists who were reduced to the final 10 but just missed selection in 2016 all return to this year’s ballot: Coach Don Coryell, running back Terrell Davis, tackle Joe Jacoby, safety John Lynch, and quarterback Kurt Warner.

Will he go in as a Falcon?

Yeah, I'm stirring up some ****!

Congrats to Morten. "The Great Dane lifted his leg". If he doesn't get in, I'm sure it'll be cuz Goodell will have something to do w it!

On another note, did Warner not make it through last year? If not, I'm surprised.

As much as most of us hate the Falcons, I bet if they had won that SB vs Denver Morten would already be in.
