For the ninth consecutive year, a first-time-eligible player is among the newest enshrinees for the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
Former Oakland Raiders and Green Bay Packers defensive back Charles Woodson was selected in their first year of eligibility.
The last time the Hall of Fame had a class that did not have a first-time-eligible player was in 2012. Former Pittsburgh Steelers safety Troy Polamalu was picked in his first year of eligibility last year.
This year's class was chosen by the Hall's board of selectors on Jan. 19 during a virtual meeting. The class will be enshrined during a multiday event Aug.
