Ninety-nine players and 14 coaches were nominated for next year's class. To be eligible for the Hall of Fame, a modern-era player or coach must be retired for at least five consecutive seasons.
The list will be trimmed to 25 candidates in November and 15 in January. The new class, which will have between four and eight members, will be announced the day before the Super Bowl, which takes place Feb. 1 at University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, Ariz.
