- Rams legend Torry Holt's Hall of Fame bid comes up short once again
In what's unfortunately become a yearly occurrence, Torry Holt was once again not selected as a Pro Football Hall of Famer on Thursday night. His wait will have to wait at least one more year despite putting up numbers that make him deserving of a spot in Canton.
This was Holt's 12th year of eligibility, being voted a semifinalist all 12 times. He was also a finalist seven years in a row, and he'll assuredly make it eight straight next year when he's eligible once again.

The five selections for the Class of 2026 were Drew Brees , Roger Craig, Larry Fitzgerald , Luke Kuechly and Adam Vinatieri .
In his 11-year career, Holt caught 920 passes for 13,382 yards and 74 touchdowns. He spent 10 of his 11 seasons with the Rams , earning seven Pro Bowl selections and winning the Super Bowl once. He led the NFL in receiving yards twice, finishing tops in the league in 2000 (1,635 yards) and 2003 (1,696 yards).
The Associated Press voted Holt a first-team All-Pro once in 2003, the same year he finished sixth in Offensive Player of the Year voting. He was also a second-team selection in 2006 and made the Pro Bowl five years in a row from 2003-2007.

Several members of the Greatest Show on Turf have already been inducted in Canton, with Holt still waiting to join hi teammates. Marshall Faulk, Kurt Warner, Isaac Bruce and Orlando Pace are all Hall of Famers, showing how historic those iconic Rams teams were.
