Baltimore has a rich history of NFL legends in the Pro Football Hall of Fame, and the organization could add two more superstars to its roster.
On Saturday, the NFL announced that Terrell Suggs and Marshal Yanda were two of 15 finalists nominated for the Hall of Fame. The list was reduced to 50 in mid-October.

Suggs is a seven-time Pro Bowler and ranks eighth on the all-time sacks list with 139 over 17 seasons.
Suggs won two Super Bowls: one with the Ravens in 2012 and another with the Kansas City Chiefs as a late-season addition in 2019. He was the NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year in 2003, logging 12 sacks. Suggs was the NFL Defensive Player of the Year in 2011 when he had a career-high 14 sacks and seven forced fumbles.
An eight-time Pro Bowler who was dominant when healthy, Yanda was a two-time first-team All-Pro (2014 & 2015) and earned five second-team All-Pro nods.
He was named to the NFL 2010s All-Decade Team.
The duo now has a chance to join Jonathan Ogden, Ray Lewis, and Ed Reed as first-ballot Hall of Famers.
Former Panthers wide receiver Steve Smith and Bengals offensive tackle Willie Anderson also spent at least one season with Baltimore, and they’re finalists.
