Eli Manning, Luke Kuechly, Terrell Suggs, and Antonio Gates have advanced to the next stage in the voting process for the 2025 Pro Football Hall of Fame class. The Hall of Fame announced the 50 modern era candidates who moved forward after a screening committee's vote. This list includes players in their first year of eligibility and returning finalists. The next steps involve reducing the list to 25 semifinalists and ultimately selecting 15 finalists before the Super Bowl.

• Manning, Kuechly, Suggs, and Vinatieri lead the first-year eligible candidates.
• The selection process will continue with a reduction to 25 semifinalists in four weeks.
