The New England Patriots legends, along with Ken Anderson and others, advance as finalists for the 2025 Hall of Fame class.

Former Denver Broncos head coach Mike Shanahan 's long wait for the Pro Football Hall of Fame will continue at least another year. The two-time Super Bowl-winning head coach did not advance to the Hall of Fame's Coach Finalist round for the Class of 2026.

On Saturday, the Pro Football Hall of Fame released an apology after it incorrectly announced the death of former Lions cornerback Lem Barney at the age of 80.
