Other nominees include Palm Beach County’s Anquan Boldin, a receiver, and Vince Wilfork, a defensive tackle.

Dolphins defensive end Cameron Wake, who had 100.5 sacks in his NFL career, last played in 2019 and will not be eligible until next year.

A screening committee will reduce the list to 50 next month. The Class of 2025 will be announced during Super Bowl week and consist of three to five modern-era players.
