The Pro Football Hall of Fame revealed its list of the 28 modern-era semifinalists for the Class of 2023. Three former San Francisco 49ers players—linebacker Patrick Willis, running back Ricky Watters, and wide receiver Anquan Boldin—were among the names.
The list of 28 players will be trimmed down to 15 in January. The Class of 2023 will be revealed during the league's NFL Honors award show just before Super Bowl 57. The class will be enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio, in August of 2023.
Below is a complete list of semifinalists for the Pro Football Hall of Fame's Class of 2023:
