Former Steelers WR Hines Ward is among the 50 candidates for the Pro Football HOF

On Wednesday, the Pro Football Hall of Fame announced the final 50 modern inductees for the 2025 Pro Football Hall of Fame inductees. Next up is the announcement of the 25 modern semi-finalists.

The Pittsburgh Steelers have three players selected in the final 50. Wide receiver Hines Ward, outside linebacker James Harrison and kicker Gary Anderson are among the final 50 modern inductees for the Pro Football Hall of Fame Class of 2025.

Based on the strength of the 2025 class, all three former Steelers are probably longshots to make the Hall. Anderson is in the same group as Adam Vinatieri and there won’t be two kickers and both Ward and Harrison face stiff competition at their respective positions.
