Who are the Hall of Fame voters?
The Hall of Fame voting process begins with a nomination from either the public or the Hall of Fame’s Board of Selectors. Once a player or coach is nominated, they must receive support from 80 percent of the voters in order to be inducted into the Hall of Fame.
There are currently 48 members of the Hall of Fame’s Board of Selectors, which includes one representative from each NFL team. The board is tasked with choosing which players and coaches will be up for induction each year.
Players and coaches that have been retired for at least five years are eligible for induction, though there is no set number of inductees each year. The number can range from zero to eight, though it has only happened twice that no one has been inducted in a given year.
