Pro Football Hall of Fame Announces Four-Member Class of 2025

Eric Allen, Jared Allen, Antonio Gates, and Sterling Sharpe will be enshrined in August after being recognized for their exceptional NFL careers.

Eric Allen, a six-time Pro Bowl cornerback, enters the Hall after a 14-year career highlighted by 54 interceptions and nine defensive touchdowns.
Jared Allen, a four-time All-Pro defensive end, is celebrated for his 136 career sacks, 22-sack season in 2011, and record-tying four career safeties.
Antonio Gates, the NFL's all-time leader in touchdown receptions by a tight end with 116, played 16 seasons with the Chargers and made eight Pro Bowls.
Sterling Sharpe, a three-time All-Pro wide receiver, earned his place despite a career cut short by injury, leading the league in receptions three times.
The 2025 class is the smallest since 2005, with no first-ballot inductees and Sharpe becoming the first senior finalist elected this year.
