Belichick & Kraft: Hall of Fame Dream Team?
4 Dec
Summary
- Belichick and Kraft are finalists for the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
- New voting rules could allow multiple inductees from the contributor category.
- Five finalists need 80% of the vote from the 50-person committee.
Bill Belichick and Robert Kraft are among the five finalists for the Pro Football Hall of Fame, with their nominations marking a potential historic moment. For the first time, changes to the selection process allow for both a coach and a contributor to be elected in the same year, potentially uniting their legacies.
The finalist selection involved specialized Blue-Ribbon Committees that narrowed down candidates in the seniors, coaches, and contributors categories. Belichick, an NFL coaching legend, and Kraft, the long-time owner of the New England Patriots, emerged from these rigorous evaluations.
Now, these five finalists face the ultimate test: securing at least 80% of the vote from the 50-person Hall of Fame selection committee. This crucial vote will occur in February during Super Bowl week in San Francisco, determining who will join the esteemed ranks of football's greatest.
