On Wednesday, the Pro Football Hall of Fame announced the 52 Modern-Era players who have advanced in the Hall of Fame selection process. While much of the discussion will be surrounding whether or not quarterbacks Eli Manning and Phillip Rivers belong in the Hall of Fame, Detroit Lions fans will be wondering if their favorites from yesteryear will make it. Sadly for those fans, two franchise legends missed the cut.
Among the 76 players to miss the cut from the 128 nominees are wide receiver Herman Moore and kicker Jason Hanson. Moore was among the initial 18 WR nominees, while Hanson was among the seven K/Punters.
