John Lynch, Simeon Rice nominated for Pro Football Hall of Fame

Simeon Rice and John Lynch are part of the list of 94 nominees for the Pro Football Hall of Fame’s Class of 2017. They’re the only two former Tampa Bay Buccaneers on the list.

Lynch has been nominated over and over again over the past years, and he was a finalist last season. He has the credentials to make it in, having made nine Pro Bowls and three first-team All-Pros, but the Hall of Fame process is highly competitive, and there are several more spectacular candidates on the ballot.

As for Simeon Rice, he has yet to make it to the final selection.
