The finalists for the 2009 Pro Football Hall of Fame have been announced. John Randle, Shannon Sharpe, Bruce Smith and Rod Woodson are among the 15 eligible players.

This year's list of finalists also features two candidates who helped contribute to the NFL's success off the field, former NFL commissioner Paul Tagliabue and Bills founder/owner Ralph Wilson.

A 40-member panel will vote on the finalists. A candidate must get 80 percent of the vote to be elected with a minimum of three and a maximum of six getting in. Results of the vote will be announced on Jan. 31, the day before the Super Bowl.

Check the names of those players you feel deserve to be in the Hall of Fame. Vote for as many as you feel deserve the honor.

Thank you for voting. See below to see who SportsNation thinks should head to Canton. Remember, on the official ballot, a candidate must get 80 percent of the vote to be elected with a minimum of three and a maximum of six getting in. If fewer than three get 80 percent, the candidate with the next highest percentage will be elected.
