«I don’t know how he is seen as more deserving than Bob Kraft.»
Rober Kraft will need to wait a bit longer for a spot in Canton.
According to ESPN’s Don Van Natta Jr., Kraft has been passed over by the Pro Football Hall of Fame’s contributor committee once again — removing him from consideration for induction in the Class of 2025.
The nine-member committee, which each year pushes forward one name for consideration by all 50 Hall voters, selected Ralph Hay — a co-founder of the NFL — for consideration among football’s contributors.
According to Van Natta, this marks the 13th year that Kraft was considered by a Hall committee but did not advance into consideration for induction.
The 83-year-old Kraft was among the nine semifinalists in the contributor category for the Hall’s Class of 2025 — alongside Hay, Bud Adams, Bucko Kilroy, Art Modell, Art Rooney Jr.
