Former Rams wide receiver Torry Holt is one of 25 modern-era player finalists for the Pro Football Hall of Fame's Class of 2025, the hall of fame announced Wednesday.
It marks Holt's 11th time as a semifinalist. He is one of five wide receivers who are semifinalists for the upcoming class.
Holt tallied 920 career receptions for 13,382 yards and 74 touchdowns in 11 NFL seasons, 10 of which were played with the Rams. He recorded 8-straight seasons of 80 or more catches and 1,000 or more receiving yards during his Rams tenure, with his career-high 117 catches for 1,696 yards and 12 touchdowns in 2003 standing out amongst them all. He was named AP First Team All-Pro that year.
Additionally, from 2000-2005, he recorded an NFL-record 1,300 or more receiving yards across those six consecutive seasons.
The Rams legend also garnered Second Team All-Pro Recognition in 2006 and was later named to the NFL's 2000s All-Decade Team.
Drafted sixth overall out of North Carolina State University in 1999, Holt made an immediate impact with 52 receptions for 788 yards and six touchdowns in his rookie season and helped the Rams to a Super Bowl XXXIV victory.
