Former Dallas Cowboys players Jason Witten and Darren Woodson are officially semifinalists for the Pro Football Hall of Fame Class of 2026.
The semifinalists were announced at large on Tuesday morning and Dallas has two players part of the field as noted. This year marks the first time that Witten is eligible for the HOF and that he has advanced to the semifinalist portion is a strong suggestion that he will one day have a bust in Canton, Ohio. He has long been regarded as a future HOFer so this is hardly a surprise, but it certainly does indeed carry the air of inevitability even if it doesn’t happen this year.
Unfortunately the road has been far more rocky for Woodson as he has been denied from the HOF on an annual basis. He was even a finalist for the most recent class to make matters even more painful.
Perhaps Woody coming as close as possible last year is a sign of hope that this could be the year he finally gets in. Ideally both Cowboys on this list are a part of next summer’s festivities.
