Pro Football Hall of Fame Class of 2024: Listing every eligible athlete feat. Andrew Luck 

The pre-season's Pro Football Hall of Fame Game pitted the Cleveland Browns against the New York Jets last week. The 2023 class was later admitted at Canton, Ohio, on Saturday, August 5.

The time has now come to think ahead towards the upcoming set of icons who could join the most exclusive group in the NFL, now that another set of players have been inducted into the 2023 Pro Football Hall of Fame class.

A player must have been retired for at least five years in order to be qualified. Hall of Fame-bound players like Tom Brady and J.J. Watt who left the league after the 2022 season are therefore ineligible until 2028, assuming neither returns to the league before then.

There are a few notable figures who are eligible, but haven't made it yet. They will now face fierce competition from the players who will qualify for the first time next year.
