CANTON, Ohio — Former Steeler running back Jerome Bettis is among the 15 modern era finalists for the Pro Football Hall of Fame — again.

Bettis played for the Rams and Steelers — he won the 2006 Super Bowl in his final game, something fellow finalist Michael Strahan did in 2008. He’s in his third season of eligibility and was beaten out by fellow running backs Marshall Faulk in 2011 and Curtis Martin in 2012 for the hall.

Single-season sacks leader Strahan and two players who tried to block him are among the 15 finalists.

Strahan, who had 22½ sacks in 2001 and 141½ for his 15-year his career with the New York Giants, is joined by offensive tackle Jonathan Ogden of the Ravens and guard-tackle Larry Allen of the Cowboys and 49ers.
