The Pro Football Hall of Fame was built in 1963, and since then, 387 former NFL players, coaches, and executives have received gold jackets, bronze busts, a ring, and a permanent place in pro football lore. This year's class includes one of the most prolific passers in football history, an equally prolific receiver, one of the most versatile running backs in NFL history, the NFL's all-time leading scorer, and the second-youngest player to receive Hall of Fame induction.[S1]
The 2026 Inductees
Drew Brees, who played from 2001 to 2020, retired as the NFL's career leader in passing yards (80,353) and touchdown passes (571), and is currently second in both categories behind Tom Brady. He won Super Bowl MVP honors after leading the Saints to their first championship at the end of the 2009 season. Former Saints head coach and current Denver Broncos head coach Sean Payton will present Brees.[S1][S2]
Larry Fitzgerald, who played from 2004 to 2020, is second only to Jerry Rice in career catches (1,432) and receiving yards (17,492). He made 11 Pro Bowl rosters in his career and will be introduced by his son, Devin Fitzgerald, a freshman receiver for Notre Dame. Luke Kuechly, who played from 2012 to 2018, won Defensive Rookie of the Year and Defensive Player of the Year in consecutive seasons, and was a five-time First Team All-Pro.[S1][S2]
Adam Vinatieri, the NFL's all-time leading scorer, ended two Super Bowls with winning field goals and won four Super Bowls. Roger Craig, who played from 1983 to 1993, became the first player to post 1,000-yard rushing and receiving campaigns in the same season in 1985, and scored a Super Bowl record three touchdowns in the 49ers' win over the Dolphins. He won three Super Bowls with San Francisco.[S1]
