Four Chiefs-related nominees named in latest release of Pro Football Hall of Fame Semifinalists
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (KCTV) - Just over two weeks after the Pro Football Hall of Fame announced 60 semifinalists for the Class of 2024, the organization announced Thursday it trimmed its list.
The Pro Football Hall of Fame said Thursday it trimmed the list to 12 candidates in the Seniors category and 12 others in the Coach/Contributor category.
Each Semifinalist in the Seniors category played his last game of professional football no later than 1998. Six men with ties to the Chiefs were nominated as Semifinalists in the original 60-person list July 12.

In the Coach/Contributor category, former Chiefs head coach Marty Schottenheimer and scout Lloyd Wells advanced through the selection process.
