1964 SEMI-FINAL RESULTS:

Thank you for all of 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 1963.

For “1963,” a Preliminary Vote with nearly 100 players whose playing career ended by 1956. We are also following the structure in that 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 pick five from the remaining 15. We will continue this process weekly until we catch up to the current year.

31 Votes took place, with the top five advancing.

This is for the “Modern Era”

We will post the Finalists of the Class of the 1964 Pro Football Hall of Fame Revisited Project next Saturday.

Thank you to all who contributed. If you want to be part of this project, please let us know!

As of this writing, Nick Bosa is one of the top Defensive Ends in football, which he wasted little time proving as the Second Overall Pick in 2019.

Bosa, the Big 10 Defensive Player for Ohio State in 2018, showcased his power and pass-rushing technique immediately by winning the Defensive Rookie of the Year.  A torn ACL held him to only two games as a sophomore, but he rocketed back in 2021 with a 15.5 Sack year and a league-leading 21 Tackles for Loss.  Bosa was a Pro Bowler again and the dominant force for a powerful defense on a contender.   That turned out to be just the beginning.

In 2022, Bosa led the NFL in Sacks (18.5) had 48 Quarterback Hits, and was the consensus Defensive Player of the Year.  In 2023, he had his third straight double-digit Sack year, added a fourth Pro Bowl, and has already played in 12 Playoff Games. 

Entering 2025, Bosa has the stats to become an elite all-time player.

Trent Williams went to seven Pro Bowls with Washington but sat out the 2019 Season after he was misdiagnosed with a form of cancer and wanted to go to another team.  He got his wish with a 2020 trade to San Francisco, where on the West Coast, Williams has played the best football of his life.

A Pro Bowl Selection again in 2020, Williams added three more over the last three seasons, all while earning First Team All-Pros.  Williams has proven to be the finest Left Tackle in the NFL in the 2020s thus far and has anchored the Niners to three deep playoff appearances. 

Williams is aging like wine, going into the 2025 Season.

The problem with running a Hall of Fame-related website is that many of the big ones we cover all have announcements within months of each other.  The backbone of what we do is list-related, resulting in a long push to revise what we already have, specifically now with our Football Hockey and Basketball Lists.

At present, we have a minor update as we have completed the next ten of the 2024 Hockey List, which you can comment on and vote on:

The new 81 to 90:

81. Gary Roberts
82. Tuukka Rask
83. Terry O’Reilly
84. Wayne Cashman
85. Ray Whitney
86. Mike Liut
87. Rick Nash
88. Brad Richards
89. Doug Jarvis
90. Doug Mohns

Rankings are impacted annually based on your comments and votes.

Thank you all for your patience. We will soon unveil more changes to the football, hockey and basketball lists.
