There’s one notable former New Orleans Saints player on the ballot for the Pro Football Hall of Fame Class of 2024: Jahri Evans. The repeat All-Pro and Pro Bowler won all sorts of accolades during his career with the Saints, and he’s soon going to learn whether or not he’ll be enshrined to the Hall of Fame. So will standout cornerback Eric Allen, who played for several teams including the Saints from 1995 to 1997.
Evans was a semifinalist in 2023, his first year of eligibility, but this time he’s one of 15 modern-era finalists. Along with three senior candidates and one coach/contributor, they’re all in the hunt for induction. The Class of 2024 will be announced at the NFL Honors ceremony on Thursday night. Here’s a look at all of the finalists:
