Former New York Giants general manager George Young and head coach Dan Reeves were named finalists for the Pro Football Hall of Fame’s Class of 2020 Centennial Slate.
Of the above group, 10 Seniors, three (3) Contributors and two (2) Coaches will be elected to the Hall of Fame as part of the Class of 2020 along with five Modern-Era Players who will be elected from 15 finalists by the full Selection Committee on “Selection Saturday,” the eve of Super Bowl LIV in Miami.
The list of the Modern-Era Player finalists will be announced on Jan. 2, 2020.
Young had a 33-year career in the NFL, first with the Baltimore Colts before moving on to the Miami Dolphins and the Giants where he built Big Blue into a league power, winning two Super Bowls before taking a job in the league office.
Reeves was the longtime head coach of the Denver Broncos, leading them to three losing Super Bowl appearances before latching on with the Giants from 1993-96. He finished his career with the Atlanta Falcons.
Of all the people who are genuinely deserving, Young has been on the outside looking in for entirely too long. It’s time he is enshrined forever.
