1969 PRELIMINARY RESULTS:
Thank you to all who participated in the Pro Football Hall of Fame Revisited Project. If you are still determining what that is, we acted like the PFHOF had its first class in January 1946.
We have completed the first 23 years thus far.
For “1969,” a Preliminary Vote with close to 100 players whose playing career ended by 1959. We are also following the structure in that players have 20 years of eligibility, and if they do not make it into the Hall, they are relegated to the Senior Pool.
Each voter was asked to select 25 names from the preliminary list, and the top 25 vote-getters were named Semi-Finalists.
A week later, the voters will be asked to pick 15 names from the 25 Semi-Finalists, and next after, they will pick five from the remaining 15. We will continue this process weekly until we catch up to the current year.
Please note that a significant change occurred “years ago,” allowing voters to submit less than the allotted spots.
30 Votes took place.
This is for the “Modern Era”

Please note that three voted for “None of the Above.”
We also had another vote where the voters were asked how they wanted to keep voting parameters over the next few years. 16 of 30 stated that you want to keep it as is, where YOU MUST obtain 50 percent of the vote to enter the Pro Football Hall of Fame Revisited Project.
Next week, we will announce the Semi-Finalists for the 1969 Pro Football Hall of Fame Revisited Project.
