The Pro Football Hall of Fame class of 2026 was officially revealed on Thursday, and Bill Belichick and Robert Kraft were left out of Canton.

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald, Carolina Panthers linebacker Luke Kuechly, Indianapolis Colts and New England Patriots kicker Adam Vinatieri, San Diego Chargers and New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees and San Francisco 49ers running back Roger Craig were named to the class that will be inducted into the Hall of Fame in August.

Craig finally gets into the Hall. He was the first player to have 1,000 yards rushing and 1,000 yards receiving in a single season. He won three Super Bowl titles with the 49ers and also played with the Los Angeles Raiders and Minnesota Vikings. He got into the Hall over Belichick, Kraft, Ken Anderson and L.C. Greenwood.

The lack of Belichick and Kraft caused immense consternation in the NFL world in the days leading up to the official announcement, which took place at the NFL Honors.

Vinatieri was the only one in the class who was a part of the Patriots’ dynasty. He won four Super Bowl titles between his time with the Patriots and Colts. He was largely considered to be one of the most clutch kickers of his generation.
