Former Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Reggie Wayne was not one of the four players a part of the 2025 Pro Football Hall of Fame class.
This year’s class includes Jared Allen, Sterling Sharp, Antonio Gates, and Eric Allen.
Wayne was one of 15 modern-era finalists for this year’s Hall of Fame class, which also included kicker Adam Vinatieri. This was the sixth time that Wayne had been named a finalist for the Hall of Fame.
According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, in order to be selected, a 50-person selection committee could pick up to five players from that group of 15 finalists to be a part of this year’s class.
Then, collectively, among the votes received from the 50 voters, a player has to earn a minimum positive vote of 80% in order to make the Hall of Fame.
Wayne, who is currently the Colts wide receivers coach, would also spend his entire career in Indianapolis, where he was a six-time Pro Bowler, a one-time All-Pro, and was a member of the Colts’ Super Bowl Championship team in 2006.
Wayne totaled 14,345 receiving yards in his career with 82 touchdown receptions over 211 games.
In eight of his 14 seasons, Wayne eclipsed the 1,000-yard receiving mark, and on four occasions, he surpassed 1,300 yards, including a career year in 2007 when he led the NFL in receiving yards with 1,510.
