2021 Hall of Fame Semifinalists Announced

The Hall of Fame has announced its 25 semifinalists for the Class of 2021. First-time eligible players include Peyton Manning, Charles Woodson, and Calvin Johnson. Rodney Harrison, a sentimental favorite of mine, is a semifinalist for the first time. (It's not just the Patriots; those 90s San Diego Chargers defenses were very good.) It's hard to imagine a situation where Manning, Woodson, and Johnson don't get in, and I've been told by one of the Hall of Fame voters that this year is probably Alan Faneca's turn, finally. So that would leave one open spot for 21 other guys.
