Taylor, the Jacksonville Jaguars’ all-time leading rusher, was left off the list that was made up of four new hall of fame members: Eric Allen, Jared Allen, Antonio Gates and Sterling Sharpe. In 13 seasons in the NFL, Taylor ran for 11,695 yards. He played 11 years in Jacksonville and two for the New England Patriots.

Cornerback Eric Allen, in his 19th year of eligibility, and defensive end Jared Allen, in his fifth year of eligibility, were named to the Hall's Class of 2025 along with tight end Antonio Gates and wide receiver Sterling Sharpe. Sharpe, whose career was cut short by a congenital neck condition, was the senior finalist selected for enshrinement.
