The list of candidates has been parsed down to 26 players.
For the first time, Lomas Brown is included.

Brown, who had never previously made it to this stage in the process, is one of six offensive linemen to be a semifinalist this year, alongside Willie Anderson, Jahri Evans, Richmond Webb, Steve Wisniewski and Marshal Yanda.
