Jim Thomas has Polian as in

Gil Brandt: Bettis, Brown, Haley, Seau, Shields, Polian, Wolf and TIngelhoff.

Kind of uninspiring for an 8-man class.

Beat me to it. He also says Pace and Warner both made the final 10.

So Harrison, Dungy, Pace and Warner were 4 of the 5 to make it from 15 to 10

First-year eligible linebacker Junior Seau was elected to the Hall of Fame, along with running back Jerome Bettis, defensive end Charles Haley, guard Will Shields and wide receiver Tim Brown.

They’ll be joined this summer by seniors nominee Mick Tingelhoff and contributor candidates Bill Polian and Ron Wolf, who were chosen in separate up-down votes which required at least 80 percent to be elected.

I would assume Greene was the fifth, but I haven't seen confirmation.

Didn't feel like making a new thread and it's all "NFL Honors" related: but DeMarco Murray AP OPOY (apparently 26 votes, Rodgers second with 15), Aaron Donald AP DROY, Beckham AP OROY, Todd Bowles AP Asst. COY, Bruce Arians AP COY.

So, the text Bettis' guy sent out had 2 errors, no Polian and Pace in and Haley out.

Of the coaches it looks like Dungy leads Coryell and Johnson. Reverse order of what I have, personally.

Junior Seau, Jerome Bettis, Tim Brown, Charles Haley and Will Shields Bill Polian and Ron Wolf, Mick Tingelhoff.

Five nominees were eliminated in the final vote: Tony Dungy, Kevin Greene, Marvin Harrison, Orlando Pace and Kurt Warner.

Morten Andersen, Terrell Davis, John Lynch and coaches Don Coryell and Jimmy Johnson were cut from 15 to 10.
