The 2024 class for the Pro Football Hall of Fame was unveiled during the NFL Honors broadcast, featuring five modern-era players and two senior players. Among the inductees were two former Green Bay Packers players, Julius Peppers and Steve McMichael.
Peppers, originally drafted second overall in 2002, had stints with the Carolina Panthers and Chicago Bears before joining the Packers from 2014 to 2016. His tenure in Green Bay saw impressive statistics including 103 tackles, 25 sacks, and a Pro Bowl nod in 2015. Peppers retired with the fourth-highest career sacks in NFL history.
In contrast, McMichael, who spent most of his career with the Bears, only played one season with the Packers in 1994. Despite limited success in Green Bay, McMichael had a decorated career with the Bears, boasting five All-Pro selections and a Super Bowl win in 1985.
The enshrinement date for the 2024 class is yet to be announced, but it is anticipated to take place in early August. Alongside Peppers and McMichael, the class includes Dwight Freeney, Devin Hester, Andre Johnson, Patrick Willis, and Randy Gradishar as senior inductees.
