Torry Holt comes up short of Hall of Fame once again

Torry Holt will have to wait at least one more year to join his former St. Louis Rams teammates in Canton. Holt was a finalist for the Pro Football Hall of Fame for the sixth time this year and yet again, he came up short of being elected.

Holt has now been eligible for the Hall of Fame for 11 years but voters have yet to put him in, a puzzling trend for one of the best receivers in NFL history.

Jared Allen, Sterling Sharpe, Eric Allen and Antonio Gates are the four Hall of Famers going in as the Class of 2025.

He finished his career with 13,382 yards and 74 touchdown receptions, posting at least 1,100 yards in eight straight years. Jerry Rice (13) is the only player in NFL history with more seasons of at least 1,100 yards than Holt, putting that remarkable feat into perspective.

Holt will try to get into the Hall of Fame next year, which will be his 12th year of eligibility. He was passed over for the following players in the Class of 2025.
