History of the NFL Hall of Fame
The National Football League Hall of Fame is the professional American football museum and hall of fame located in Canton, Ohio.

The Selection Process
The Pro Football Hall of Fame’s Selection Process is an annual event that determines which former professional football players, coaches, and contributors will be inducted into the Hall of Fame.

A contributor is defined as an individual who has made significant contributions to professional football in capacities other than playing or coaching. Contributors can be considered for induction at any time.
Selection to the Pro Football Hall of Fame is considered the highest honor that can be bestowed upon a football player or coach. To be elected, a finalist must receive a minimum positive vote of 80 percent during the annual Selection Meeting. Currently, there are 310 members of the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
