The Pro Football Hall of Fame has announced nominees for the Class of 2027 across different categories. In the contributor category, New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft is one of five finalists. He is joined by Ralph Hay, Virginia McCaskey, Doug Williams, and John Wooten. A subcommittee is scheduled to meet via video call on November 17 to select a single candidate for recommendation. Due to recent back surgery, the 85-year-old Kraft has been instructed by doctors to remain off his feet, causing him to miss the upcoming induction of Rob Gronkowski into the Patriots Hall of Fame, as well as the Patriots’ upcoming game against the Green Bay Packers and a scheduled trip to Germany. In the coaches category, the subcommittee announced five nominees: Bill Belichick, Tom Coughlin, Dan Reeves, Mike Shanahan, and Mike Holmgren. Belichick, who won six Super Bowls as head coach of the ~~Patriots,~~ Patriots and served as a defensive coordinator for the New York Giants, is seeking induction following previous omissions. Other nominees include Tom Coughlin, who led the Giants to two Super Bowl titles between 2004 and 2015, and Dan Reeves, who is one of only 13 coaches in NFL history to reach 200 career wins. The subcommittee will ~~also~~ meet on November 17 to select one candidate from this group to present to the full voting committee.
