Former Carolina Panthers star Julius Peppers headlines Pro Football Hall of Fame class of 2024
CANTON, OH (WWAY) – Seven of the “Greatest of the Game” have been elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame’s Class of 2024.
The Hall’s 50-person Selection Committee met virtually in January to conduct the annual vote, and the Class of 2024 was announced during a two-hour primetime awards special called “NFL Honors.”
The newest members of the Pro Football Hall of Fame are defensive end/linebacker Julius Peppers, defensive end/outside linebacker Dwight Freeney, linebacker Randy Gradishar, kick returner/punt returner/wide receiver Devin Hester, wide receiver Andre Johnson, and linebacker Patrick Willis, and defensive tackle/nose tackle Steve McMichael — who was also a pro wrestler often aligned with Ric Flair.
The Hall of Fame’s membership, including the newly elected class, now stands at 378.
The Class of 2024 will be enshrined Saturday, Aug. 3, at Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium in Canton.
