The Pro Football Hall of Fame announced its 2026 class as part of the NFL Honors awards show Thursday night, with five players, including quarterback Drew Brees and wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald, selected for enshrinement later this year.
Brees and Fitzgerald received the nod in their first year of eligibility. They’ll be joined by kicker Adam Vinatieri and linebacker Luke Kuechly, who were in their second year of eligibility.
And rounding out the class is running back Roger Craig, who was a Seniors finalist.
The Hall’s board of selectors chose this year’s class in a virtual meeting in January. The five new Hall of Famers will be enshrined Aug. 8 in Canton, Ohio, and the class is slightly bigger than last year’s four.
