As the Pro Football Hall of Fame voting process comes under scrutiny after Bill Belichick’s snub, the Class of 2026 was announced Thursday night at NFL Honors. Five inductees will go in during the ceremony this summer.
Former Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald , former New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees , former Carolina Panthers linebacker Luke Kuechly and former Indianapolis Colts kicker Adam Vinatieri are all headed to Canton. They were among the finalists waiting to see if they would become Hall of Famers on this year’s ballot.
In addition, former San Francisco 49ers running back Roger Craig is, at long last, being inducted after becoming a senior finalist. He got in after a vote by the committee which did not elect Belichick or Robert Kraft to the Hall of Fame.
