2003 SEMI-FINAL RESULTS:
Thank you for your participation in the Pro Football Hall of Fame Revisited Project. If you are unaware of what that is, we acted like the PFHOF had its first class in January 1946.
We have completed the years up to 2002.
For “2003,” a Preliminary Vote with nearly 100 players whose playing career ended by 1997. We also follow the structure in which players have 20 years of eligibility, and if they do not make it into the Hall, they are relegated to the Senior Pool.
Each voter was asked to select 25 names from the preliminary list, and the top 25 vote-getters were named Semi-Finalists.
A week later, the voters were asked to pick 15 names from the 25 Semi-Finalists, and next week, they will choose five from the remaining 15. We will continue this process every week until we catch up to the current year.
32 votes were cast, with the top 15 advancing.
This is for the “Modern Era”
