The Pro Football Hall of Fame’s class of 2017 will be chosen by the Hall’s Board of Selectors on Saturday in Houston.
The class could include one seniors nominee, two contributor nominees and up to five modern-era finalists. The seniors nominee and contributor nominees are voted on separately from the modern-era finalists and are considered on a yes-or-no basis.
On Saturday, the list of modern-era finalists will be trimmed to 10 and then to five during the Board of Selectors meeting. The remaining five finalists will then be chosen on a yes-or-no basis.
The finalists for the class of 2017:
Seniors committee
Kenny Easley
Safety, 1981-1987, Seattle Seahawks
A five-time Pro Bowl selection, Easley saw his career cut short by kidney problems.
