The Pro Football Hall of Fame released their list of 25 modern-era player semifinalists on Wednesday morning, and Saints offensive staple Jahri Evans is a part

Former New Orleans Saints standout Jahri Evans and New Orleans natives Eli Manning and Reggie Wayne are among the semifinalists for the Pro Football Hall of Fame’s Class of 2025.

New Orleans Saints legend Jahri Evans has been named a semifinalist for the Pro Football Hall of Fame Class of 2025, being one of 25 selected to advance to this round of voting from the 167 modern era nominees. This will be Evans' third consecutive season as a semifinalist; he was selected as a finalist for the class of 2024.

They say third time is the charm. That's the hope for New Orleans Saints legendary offensive lineman Jahri Evans. The Pro Football Hall of Fame released their annual list of semifinalists, and Evans was one of the 25 players who made the cut.

The list of candidates also includes 17 players who were Semifinalists for the Class of 2024. Modern-Era Players making the cut to Semifinalist in their first year of eligibility are Luke Kuechly, Eli Manning, Terrell Suggs, Earl Thomas, Adam Vinatieri and Marshal Yanda. Each last played a professional football game in the 2019 season.

Congratulations to Giants quarterback Eli Manning on making it to the semi-final round of the Pro Football Hall of Fame! Is Eli Manning a Hall of Famer? I think eventually he does. Do I believe that he is a first-ballot Hall of Famer?

Columnist Bob Molinaro writes that factoring in that he played for New York and shows up on TV more than Anderson Cooper, there’s no telling how much undeserved support Manning will receive.
