Why it matters
This event celebrates the legacy of some of the most statistically significant players in NFL history, marking a major cultural milestone for American sports fans.
Five former NFL players are about to formally join the most exclusive fraternity in professional football. Drew Brees, Larry Fitzgerald, Roger Craig, Adam Vinatieri, and Luke Kuechly will become the newest members of the Pro Football Hall of Fame during Saturday's induction ceremony.
Located in Canton, Ohio, the Pro Football Hall of Fame was built in 1963. Since then, 387 former NFL players, coaches and executives have received gold jackets, bronze busts, a ring and a permanent place in pro football lore.
This year's class will include one of the most prolific passers in football history, an equally prolific receiver, one of the most versatile running backs in NFL history, the NFL's all-time leading scorer and the second-youngest player to receive Hall of Fame induction.
