CANTON, Ohio - Cleveland Browns standout Joe Thomas has been named as a finalist for the Pro Football Hall of Fame's Class of 2023.

Thomas joins 15 other finalists. The list will be narrowed to five ahead of the induction announcement on February 9 at NFL Honors in Phoenix.

Thomas had an 11-year career in Cleveland where he was voted to 10 Pro Bowls, and clinched six first-team All-Pro selections.

Starting with 10,363 consecutive snaps, Thomas is believed to hold the longest streak ever by a player in NFL history.

Thomas is the only offensive lineman in league history to be voted to 10 consecutive Pro Bowls to begin his career.

To be elected, each finalist must receive at least 80 percent of the vote from the 49-person Selection Committee.

Thomas would become the 18th Browns player to be inducted into the Hall of Fame and first since Mac Speedie was honored in 2020.
