hope to get a certain phone call on Saturday. Both are finalists for the Pro Football Hall of Fame class Color Rush Thomas Sweeney Jersey , which will be selected on the eve of Super Bowl LII in Minneapolis. As collegians, Owens played wide receiver at Chattanooga and Walls was a cornerback at Grambling State. Owens, 45, is a third-time finalist. He spent 15 sometimes controversy-filled seasons in the NFL with five organizations, starting with the San Francisco 49ers after they selected him in the third round of the 1996 draft. The big-play receiver had nine seasons of at least 1,000 receiving yards, finishing with the second-highest total all-time with 15,934 yards on 1,078 receptions. His 153 touchdown catches are the third-most in NFL history. He made six Pro Bowls and was named an All-Pro five times. At Chattanooga, he was a prolific athlete who participated in three sports. He became a starting receiver as a sophomore and caught 115 passes for 1,748 yards and 12 touchdowns over his final three seasons, playing in the run-heavy Southern Conference. He also played for a Mocs basketball team that advanced to the NCAA tournament Youth Thomas Sweeney Jersey , and anchored the school’s 4×100 relay team at the NCAA track championships. Walls, 58, was a four-time Pro Bowler and three-time All-Pro during his 13-year NFL career. He is the only cornerback to lead the league in interceptions three times, beginning with the Dallas Cowboys in 1981 after he signed as an undrafted rookie free agent, and also finishing first in ’82 and ’85. He was part of the New York Giants’ 1991 Super Bowl champion team, making a key tackle on Buffalo Bills running back Thurman Thomas late in the game. He also played with the Cleveland Browns, ending his career with 57 interceptions, including 44 with the Cowboys. He walked on to the Grambling State program after only playing as a senior in high school, but he impressed coach Eddie Robinson and wound up earning a scholarship. In 1980, he led the nation with 11 interceptions and was an Division I-AA All-American. The other finalists named in early January were offensive tackle Tony Boselli, wide receiver Isaac Bruce, safety Brian Dawkins Womens Thomas Sweeney Jersey , offensive guard Alan Faneca, offensive guard Steve Hutchinson, offensive tackle Joe Jacoby, running back Edgerrin James, cornerback Ty Law, linebacker Ray Lewis, safety John Lynch, center Kevin Mawae, wide receiver Randy Moss and linebacker Brian Urlacher. Two senior finalists – linebacker Robert Brazile, who played at Jackson State prior to the Division I split in 1978, and offensive guard Jerry Kramer – were named in August. General manager Bobby Beathard was announced as a contributor finalist. To be enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame, a candidate must receive at least 80 percent support from the 48-person selection committee. ORCHARD PARK Authentic Thomas Sweeney Jersey , N.Y. (AP)Buffalo Bills coach Sean McDermott says medical test results on LeSean McCoy’s injured right ankle were negative, giving the running back a chance to play against Jacksonville in the AFC wild-card game on Sunday. McDermott would not go into detail except to say the team received ”some good news” Monday, a day after McCoy was hurt in a 22-16 win at Miami. The victory combined with Baltimore’s 31-27 loss to Cincinnati clinched Buffalo (9-7) its first playoff berth since the 1999 season, and ended the longest active postseason drought in North America’s four major professional sports. McCoy was hurt and carted off the field after a 3-yard run on Buffalo’s first possession of the third quarter. The ninth-year player leads Buffalo with 1,138 yards rushing, 59 catches and eight touchdowns, including two receiving. Overall, his 1,586 yards from scrimmage account for 33 percent of the Bills’ total. Buffalo also lacks depth at the position a week after backup Travaris Cadet broke his ankle. That leaves Mike Tolbert and newly signed Marcus Murphy as the Bills’ only running backs on the roster, along with fullback Patrick DiMarco. Murphy had one career carry for no yards in his previous two seasons with New Orleans, before leading Buffalo with 41 yards rushing against Miami. —
