Former Rams wide receiver Torry Holt has been named one of 15 modern-era player finalists for the Pro Football Hall of Fame's Class of 2025, it was announced Saturday.
It is Holt's sixth-straight year as a finalist. He is one of 3 modern-era wide receiver finalists for the Class of 2025.
Holt amassed 920 career receptions for 13,382 yards and 74 touchdowns in 11 NFL seasons, 10 of which were spent with the Rams. He recorded 8-consecutive seasons of 80 or more catches and 1,000 or more receiving yards during his Rams tenure, highlighted by his career-high 117 catches for 1,696 yards and 12 touchdowns in 2003 that led to AP First Team All-Pro recognition that year.
The Rams legend also garnered Second Team All-Pro Recognition in 2006 and was later named to the NFL's 2000s All-Decade Team.
Drafted sixth overall out of North Carolina State University in 1999, Holt made an immediate impact with 52 catches for 788 yards and six touchdowns in his first season and helped the Rams to a Super Bowl title. In that 23-16 Super Bowl XXXIV victory over the Tennessee Titans, he finished with 11 catches for 109 yards and one touchdown.
The modern-era player finalists were chosen by a vote of the Hall's Selection Committee, a process that started in September with a list of 167 nominees. That group was then narrowed to 25 semifinalists on Nov. 20.
The Pro Football Hall of Fame's Class of 2025 will be announced at NFL Honors in New Orleans, La., in February and enshrined in August in Canton.
