First-time candidates Eli Manning, Adam Vinatieri, and Luke Kuechly are among the 25 semifinalists for the Pro Football Hall of Fame Class of 2025, with former Rams wide receiver Torry Holt hoping for a 12th time to be the charm.

Vinatieri, Kuechly, Manning, Terrell Suggs, Earl Thomas, and Marshal Yanda are the newcomers to the list of semifinalists, which will be narrowed down to 15 by the end of the current season.

Holt is a semifinalist for the 12th time, while Hines Ward and Darren Woodson have been debated by the Selection Committee for the second-longest amount of time. Woodson first became a semifinalist in 2015, while Ward joined the list in 2016.
