This weekend, the Pro Football Hall of Fame will be enshrining eight new members. By this time next year, there could possibly be a class of 20 inductees going into the Hall. On Friday, the Pro Football Hall of Fame’s Board of Trustees announced their approval to allow 20 new members to honor the NFL’s 100th anniversary. Normally, the HOF enshrines a maximum of eight people.
Our proposal to increase the number of Seniors, Contributors and Coaches candidates as part of a special Centennial Class of 2020 was approved by the Hall’s Board of Trustees during its annual meeting.
