Five first-time candidates were on the list, including three Andre Johnson, DeMarcus Ware and Devin Janarius Robinson Jerseys Hester who became first-timers in their first year of Hall of Fame eligibility. The other first-time finalists were former 49ers linebacker Patrick Willis and former Bengals and Ravens offensive tackle Willie Anderson.

Of the 2021 finalists who were not inducted, Clay Matthews was the only one who was not Jeff Gladney Jerseys among the 2022 finalists.

This year's finalists were selected from the list of 26 semifinalists announced in November.
