The Green Bay Packers have been trying to get Sterling Sharpe into the Pro Football Hall of Fame ever since he became eligible. His time in the NFL in the 1990s may have been shorter lived than he wanted, but he made a lasting impact on the game.
Now he has a chance to get to the final stage of his career.
“Here We Go” Packers Announce Massive Sterling Sharpe HOF News

According to ESPN’s Don Van Netta Jr:
Super Bowl-winning Green Bay Packers coach Mike Holmgren was chosen as the coaching finalist for the Pro Football Hall of Fame’s Class of 2025 on Tuesday.
In the seniors category, former Packers wide receiver Sterling Sharpe; Maxie Baughan, a linebacker who was a nine-time Pro Bowl selection in the 1960s for the Philadelphia Eagles and Los Angeles Rams; and Jim Tyrer, the gigantic offensive tackle for the Kansas City Chiefs in the 1960s and 1970s, were named finalists.
Tyrer’s selection comes with controversy, as he died in a murder-suicide of his wife in 1980, but senior committee voters and his family members lobbied publicly for his induction.
In the contributors category, as ESPN first reported last month, the finalist is NFL co-founder Ralph Hay, the owner of the Canton Bulldogs from 1918 to 1922. He is recognized for organizing the first meeting of teams that formed the American Professional Football Association, the precursor to the NFL.
Robert Kraft, the New England Patriots owner whose teams have won six Super Bowls, was snubbed for the 13th time by the nine voters on the contributors committee.

Holmgren and coach Mike Shanahan were believed to be the two most likely favorites to emerge from the coaches category this year. From 1992 to 1998, Holmgren coached the Packers, leading the team to six playoff appearances, three NFC Central titles and two NFC Championship Games. In two Super Bowls with the Packers, Holmgren led the Packers to a win over the New England Patriots in Super Bowl XXXI in New Orleans but lost Super Bowl XXXII to the Denver Broncos in San Diego.
