Break out the gold jackets and get the busts shined. The Pro Football Hall of Fame is adding more members to its illustrious club.
The Hall of Fame Class of 2024 was announced tonight, as several former players, coaches, and contributors are officially Canton-bound.
In the lead-up to the official announcement at the 2024 NFL Honors, a trio of players were reported to be headed to the Hall — ex-Bears Steve McMichael, Devin Hester, and Julius Peppers, according to the Chicago Sun-Times. McMichael gets in as a senior inductee, while Hester and Peppers fall into the modern-era category.
In addition, Andre Johnson was reported to be heading into the class as well by Texans reporter Patrick Storm.
Who else is joining them in the 2024 class? Here's who's set to be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
