The core goal of the Pro Football Hall of Fame is to celebrate those who most changed the game.
Thursday night, the museum got closer to meeting that ultimate goal with the election of Raiders’ legendary wide receiver Cliff Branch. Branch, who died in August, 2019 two days after his 71st birthday, was voted in by the hall of fame’s senior committee. The 2022 Pro Football Hall of Fame class was announced as part of the NFL Honors show.
It’s time.
Cliff Branch is headed to the Hall of Fame.
