Marshawn Lynch, Earl Thomas Nominated for Hall of Fame

The 2025 Pro Football Hall of Fame nominees include first-time candidates Marshawn Lynch and Earl Thomas, both Seattle Seahawks legends. Lynch, known for his punishing running style and iconic plays, amassed over 10,000 rushing yards and 85 touchdowns in his career, earning multiple Pro Bowl and All-Pro selections. Thomas, a key member of the 'Legion of Boom' defense, was celebrated for his elite safety skills but left Seattle under contentious circumstances due to contract disputes and personal issues. Additionally, former Broncos wide receiver Demaryius Thomas has been nominated posthumously, remembered for his impressive career that included five Pro Bowl selections and a pivotal role in the Broncos' Super Bowl 50 victory. The total list includes 167 nominees, which will be narrowed down as the Hall of Fame selection process unfolds. The final selections will be made ahead of Super Bowl LVIX, with up to five modern-era players being elected.
