Brian Dawkins and Terrell Owens are a little closer to the Pro Football Hall of Fame. The two were named semifinalists for induction consideration on Wednesday evening, but there’s still a long wait to go. Finalists will be announced in January, with the final decision being announced on February 4, 2017.

This is Dawkins’ first year on the ballot, while Owens was named a finalist last year. Dawkins got emotional when speaking about his connection to Philly fans and the nomination.
