Roger Craig, a former All-Pro running back with three Super Bowl victories, has been inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame nearly 30 years after his last NFL game. His election, part of the 2026 class alongside Drew Brees and others, sparked controversy due to the exclusion of Bill Belichick, who was also on the ballot. The new voting system, which pits senior candidates against each other, raised concerns about fairness and the decision-making process among voters. Critics argue that while Craig’s induction is deserved, the system may need reforms to prevent deserving candidates from being overlooked in favor of others deemed more urgent by voters.
