Former Miami Dolphins offensive tackle Richmond Webb reached the semifinalist stage of the Pro Football Hall of Fame voting process for the first time and is one of 25 remaining candidates for the Class of 2025.
Webb, 57, was the No. 9 selection in the 1990 NFL draft and spent 11 seasons with the Dolphins mostly protecting Dan Marino’s blindside. The stalwart left tackle earned Pro Bowl honors seven times, was a two-time First Team All-Pro, and a two-time Second Team All-Pro during his time in Miami. Webb then finished his career with two seasons with the Cincinnati Bengals.
Among those that didn’t advance to the semifinalist stage is former Dolphins wide receiver and current wide receivers coach Wes Welker.
Webb is one of seven first-time semifinalists along with Luke Kuechly, Eli Manning, Terrell Suggs, Earl Thomas, Adam Vinatieri, and Marshal Yanda. All six of those players are in their first year of Hall of Fame eligibility.
Later this year, the list of 25 semifinalists will be trimmed to 15 finalists.
