Edgerrin James, OJ Anderson & Jerome Brown among Hall of Fame nominees

INDIANAPOLIS - Former Colts Coach Tony Dungy is among the Modern-Era candidates nominated for the Pro Football Hall of Fame Class of 2015.

Three former Colts players are also up for consideration: wide receiver Marvin Harrison, running back Edgerrin James and offensive lineman Chris Hinton.

Quarterback Kurt Warner, linebacker Junior Seau, wide receivers Isaac Bruce and Torry Holt, tackle Orlando Pace, and kicker Jason Elam are also in the running.

This year's list of Modern-Era nominees includes 99 players and 14 coaches. A Modern-Era candidate - player or coach - must be retired for at least five consecutive seasons to be eligible for consideration.

That list will be whittled down to 25 semifinalists and 15 finalists to be announced in January.
