The Pro Football Hall of Fame is moving toward a massive induction class in 2020. While it’s not official yet, a 20-person class could be on tap next year with a large emphasis on the backlog of worthy senior candidates.
At their annual meeting Friday, the Hall’s Board of Trustees approved a motion that would add 12 spots to the normally eight-man class. Typically, five modern era candidates join two senior candidates and one contributor for induction. The new proposal boosts the senior candidates to a ten-man class and the contributors to three while adding two coaches to the mix, as well.
