SAN FRANCISCO – No more surprises. It’s official.
Drew Brees and Larry Fitzgerald are Hall of Famers on the first ballot.
On the heels of leaks in recent days that revealed Bill Belichick and Robert Kraft as stunning snubs, Brees and Fitzgerald – who rank second all-time for career passing and receiving yards, respectively – were christened as the headliners for the Pro Football Hall of Fame’s Class of 2026 unveiled Feb. 5 during the NFL Honors show at the Palace of Fine Arts.
Also headed to Canton: Adam Vinatieri, Luke Kuechly and Roger Craig.
The five-member class will be enshrined Aug. 8 in ceremonies at the Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio.
