Six former Miami Dolphins and UM Hurricanes will be eligible for selection to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in the Class of 2026 -- and we invite tou to tell us which two you think are most deserving?

Frank Gore, Greg Olsen and Mike Pouncey are eligible for the first time. Reggie Wayne, Richmond Webb and Vince Wolfork are back for another try, Wilfork for the fourth time, Wayne for the seventh and Webb for the 11th year.

Players are listed alphabetically in the poll. Select two and then click bar at bottom that reads, ‘Pick maxmum 2 players’.

You may vote for no more than two, but you may vote as many times as you like or until your fingers ache. (Percentage of votes will add up to 200 because it’s two votes each.)
