Pro Football Hall of Fame inductions: Sunday's highlights for the 2021 class

CANTON, Ohio -- The Pro Football Hall of Fame's class of 2021, headlined by three players who were in their first year of eligibility, closed out the Hall's biggest enshrinement weekend Sunday night in Tom Benson Stadium.

Seven members of the class were scheduled to take to the podium during the evening, including Peyton Manning, Calvin Johnson and Charles Woodson -- all three were selected for enshrinement in their first year of eligibility. It is the ninth consecutive year at least one former player has been enshrined in his first year of eligibility.

The celebration comes on the heels of Saturday's enshrinement ceremony, which featured Troy Polamalu, Edgerrin James and former Dallas Cowboys coach Jimmy Johnson.
