Former Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Reggie Wayne was not one of the four players a part of the 2025 Pro Football Hall of Fame class. This year’s class includes Jared Allen, Sterling Sharp, Antonio Gates, and Eric Allen.

The backlog at wide receiver appeared to start breaking last year. Texans star Andre Johnson was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2024, a move that seemed to open doors for Wayne and Rams legend Torry Holt, who has been on the ballot since 2014 and a finalist since 2020.

Fifteen finalists were set for the Pro Football Hall of Fame Class of 2025. Among them, former Miami Hurricanes great and Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Reggie Wayne was one of the 11 players who did not make the cut for induction this year.
