The Hall's Class of 2020 is Steve Atwater, Isaac Bruce, Steve Hutchinson, Edgerrin James and Troy Polamalu. Both ceremonies were canceled last year because of COVID-19 restrictions. The extended enshrinement weekend also will include ceremonies for the Hall's Class of 2020, as well as the centennial class of Hall of Famers selected as part of the league's 100th anniversary. The eight new Hall of Famers will be enshrined during a multiday event Aug. 19 by the Hall's board of selectors during a virtual meeting. Champ Bailey, Tony Gonzalez and Ed Reed were enshrined in 2019 as first-time eligible finalists, as were Ray Lewis, Randy Moss and Brian Urlacher in 2018. This marks the third time in the past four years that three first-time eligible players have been selected for enshrinement in the same year. Former Raiders and Seattle Seahawks coach Tom Flores, the lone candidate in the new coach category this year, is also bound for Canton. They combined for 29 Pro Bowl selections and Woodson was the league's Defensive Player of the Year in 2009.Īmong the modern-era finalists, Lynch, who had been a finalist eight times, has waited the longest for enshrinement.Īlso included in the Class of 2021 is former Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Drew Pearson, who was elected as a senior inductee, and former Steelers scout/personnel executive Bill Nunn, who will be posthumously enshrined in the contributor category. Manning, Woodson and Johnson were all in their first year of eligibility. Joining Manning from the modern-era finalists in the Hall's Class of 2021 will be former Raiders and Green Bay Packers defensive back Charles Woodson, former Detroit Lions wide receiver Calvin Johnson, current San Francisco 49ers general manager and former Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Denver Broncos defensive back John Lynch, and former Pittsburgh Steelers guard Alan Faneca. Manning, who was in his first year of eligibility, played on two Super Bowl-winning teams, was a five-time MVP, a 14-time Pro Bowl selection, a former Offensive Rookie of the Year and Comeback Player of the Year.
