The Pro Football Hall of Fame is considering expanding the number of enshrinees for one season. President David Baker said the Hall of Fame could potentially add 20 new members for the Class of 2020, both to deal with a backlog of deserving candidates and to honor the NFL’s centennial season.
“It is extremely elite company, and it’s not the Hall of very, very good. It’s the Hall of Fame, and so it should be difficult to make it. But there’s a lot of guys through the years, we’ve had several guys who are on All-Decade teams who aren’t in the Hall of Fame.
