ATLANTA - The National Football Foundation (NFF) & College Hall of Fame announced Wednesday the names on the 2017 ballot for induction into the College Football Hall of Fame, including 75 players and six coaches from the Football Bowl Subdivision and 95 players and 29 coaches from the divisional ranks. Among those in the divisional category is Georgia Southern University's Adrian Peterson, who re-wrote the Eagle record book in his playing time at GS.
"It's an enormous honor to just be on the ballot when you think that more than 5.12 million people have played college football," said NFF President & CEO Steve Hatchell.
