Cornerbacks Ronde Barber and Darrelle Revis, outside linebacker DeMarcus Ware and linebacker Zach Thomas were named to the Pro Football Hall of Fame class of 2023 as modern-era candidates along with tackle Joe Thomas, a 10-time Pro Bowl selection with the Cleveland Browns. It is the first time, other than the Hall's 15-member centennial class, four modern-era defensive players have been in the same enshrinement class.
