The road to Canton is officially heating up, and it’s got a strong Detroit flavor this year. The Pro Football Hall of Fame has released its list of nominees for the Class of 2026, and five former Detroit Lions players have made the cut.
While the full ballot features stars from across the NFL, the inclusion of multiple ex-Lions gives Detroit fans reason to take notice. Each of these players left their mark in Honolulu blue, and now they’re getting a chance at football’s highest honor.
The 2026 Hall of Fame selection process will trim down to semifinalists later this year before voters decide who ultimately gets the gold jacket. For Lions Nation, it’s another chance to see the franchise’s history represented on the league’s biggest stage.
