The Pro Football Hall of Fame reveals 15 Modern Era finalists for the 2026 class, with the voting process whittling from 15 to 10 to seven to five inductees; 50 voters will cast 250 total votes, needing at least 80% or top-three finish to earn induction. Finalists include Willie Anderson, Drew Brees, Jahri Evans, Larry Fitzgerald, Frank Gore, Torry Holt, Luke Kuechly, Eli Manning, Terrell Suggs, Adam Vinatieri, Reggie Wayne, Kevin Williams, Jason Witten, Darren Woodson and Marshal Yanda.

Ken Riley's Induction Day: A Hall of Fame Legacy Cemented

The late Bengals legend Ken Riley's enshrinement in the Pro Football Hall of Fame was an emotional moment as his family received his Gold Jacket during the ceremony. For the first time, the Hall gave Gold Jackets to posthumous inductees, and it was also the first time a new Hall-of-Famer was given his jacket by a Hall-of-Famer of his choice. Riley's Super Bowl XVI teammate Anthony Munoz presented the framed jacket to Riley's son, and the rest of the family joined them on stage, creating a touching moment for the crowd. The official unveiling of Riley's bust will take place on Saturday.
