"Buffalo Bills great Andre Reed made the list of 15 modern-era finalists for induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame for a sixth straight year on Saturday.

Reed, the Bills' all-time greatest receiver, advanced in voting from 15 down to the final 10 during the selection meeting the past two years. He was eliminated both years in the cutdown from 10 to five finalists.

The selection meeting for the Hall's Class of 2012 will take place in Indianapolis on Feb. 4, the day before the Super Bowl. The 15 modern-era finalists will be joined by two seniors candidates (Jack Butler and Dick Stanfel) in consideration for induction. A maximum of five modern-era candidates can be elected.

Reed is one of three receivers on the list of 15, joined by former Vikings star Cris Carter and former Raiders star Tim Brown. Carter is a finalist for a fifth straight year. Brown is a finalist for a third straight year."
