    Several Former Green Bay Packers, Including Sterling Sharpe and Mike Holmgren, Named Semi-Finalists for 2024 Hall of Fame Induction

    The Green Bay Packers have the second-most Hall of Famers of any franchise in the NFL, trailing only the Chicago Bears. Even though no former Packers players were voted for induction in the modern era this past year, several of them have been named semi-finalists for induction by the Hall of Fame’s senior committee. Of these names, Sterling Sharpe and Mike Holmgren are the most notable.

    In addition to Sharpe and Holmgren, Cecil Isbell, Mark Clayton, Steve McMichael, and Eddie Kotal are all up for a nomination. They are all part of a list of 60 (31 players and 29 coaches/contributors) former NFL persons that are up for consideration.

    On July 27, the list will be trimmed to 12 players and 12 coaches/contributors. In August, three players and one coach/contributor will be voted upon for induction into the Hall of Fame. Coach Holmgren has been a finalist in each of the past two years.

    Below, we examine the cases for the three players/coaches who are up for induction for their work with the Packers, Sharpe, Holmgren, and Isbell. Clayton, McMichael, and Kotal are up for induction for their work with other franchises.

    Kotal, who played for the Packers in the 1920s and was an assistant coach with the team in the 1940s is up for his work as a longtime scout for the Rams.
