The voting for the Pro Football Hall of Fame usually takes place in person the day before the Super Bowl, but the COVID-19 pandemic has led to a change.
The 48 selectors for the Hall of Fame will be meeting virtually on Tuesday to consider the 15 modern-era finalists along with coaching candidate Tom Flores, contributor candidate Bill Nunn, and seniors candidate Drew Pearson. One of the first-time finalists that will be under consideration is wide receiver Calvin Johnson.
Most people believe Johnson’s exploits with the Lions will make him the owner of a gold jacket, but the general feeling is that Peyton Manning and Charles Woodson are the only sure first-ballot picks this year.
