Fitzgerald on Wednesday was among the 52 modern-era candidates who advanced into the voting process after a screening committee reduced the nominee field down from 128 names.
He’s one of eight players who made the next round of voting in their first year of eligibility.
Drew Brees, Philip Rivers, Frank Gore, LeSean McCoy, Greg Olsen, Jason Witten and Maurkice Pouncey round out the new faces on the list.

Go Larry go !
1st ballot. Not a doubt in my mind
If he isn’t first ballot then who is?
As someone who is ignorant of the whole HoF process, I just assumed this was a given. No doubt. A shoo-in.
Brees and Gore are for sure first ballot. I also feel like they’ll let Kuechly in. Hopefully Fitz makes it in first ballot.
He’s an obvious first ballot. Arguably the 2nd greatest WR of all time.
Wow I’m shocked. He might end up sneaking in there.
He and his tuchus are locks.
Thank god, something positive for the franchise this year
