He caught 869 passes for 12,660 yards and 74 touchdowns for the Rams. Holt led the NFL in receiving yards in both 2000 and 2003, the second of which he was a First-Team All-Pro selection for after posting 117 catches for 1,696 yards. 

If Holt were to be elected to the Hall of Fame, he would join "Greatest Show on Turf" teammates Kurt Warner, Marshall Faulk and Isaac Bruce in Canton. 

Dick Vermeil -- who coached the Rams to a victory over the Tennessee Titans in Super Bowl XXXIV -- was also inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2022.
