The list was reduced from an initial group of 167 nominees.

The next step in the process is for the modern-era players to be cut to a list of 15 finalists—which will be announced in December.

Eventually, 20 finalists (grouped together with the coach and contributor categories) will be presented at the selection committee’s annual meeting.

The final Class of 2025 will be announced at the “NFL Honors” in New Orleans the night prior to Super Bowl LIX.
