Pro Football Hall of Fame Class of 2023 announced
The full Pro Football Hall of Fame Class of 2023 was revealed Thursday night at the NFL Honors as nine new members were announced.
The class featured five players that played recently, so they could be familiar faces to a lot of younger fans. The other four members were considered legends as well, playing during the 20th century.

“Barber, Howley, Klecko, Revis, Joe Thomas, Zach Thomas and Ware learned of their election when a Hall of Famer knocked on their door,” a statement from the Hall of Fame read. “Those encounters can be seen Saturday, when NFL Network airs a one-hour special, beginning at 8 p.m. ET. The families of Coryell and Riley received the news in a phone call that included Hall of Fame President Jim Porter and a Hall of Famer. The annual selection meeting capped the year-round selection process.
“The newly elected Hall of Famers were chosen from a list of 19 Finalists who had been determined earlier by the Pro Football Hall of Fame’s Selection Committee. Representatives of the accounting firm EY tabulated all votes throughout the process, including the virtual meeting. The Class of 2023 will be enshrined into the Pro Football Hall of Fame on Saturday, Aug. 5, at Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium in Canton. Tickets for Enshrinement will go on sale in the coming weeks.”
