Like Bill Belichick, Patriots owner Robert Kraft reportedly misses out on making Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2026

Robert Kraft is also going to have to wait at least another year to get into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

According to ESPN, the longtime New England Patriots owner was not selected for induction in 2026. Kraft's omission comes as former Patriots coach Bill Belichick is also set to miss out on being a part of the Hall of Fame class this year.

Kraft and Belichick were among five people who were up for induction in a pool separate from the modern-era finalists. The two were with former players Ken Anderson, Roger Craig and L.C. Greenwood in the same pool. Per Hall of Fame rules, a maximum of three of the five could make the hall this year and each person needed at least 40 of the 50 votes from the voting committee to be eligible for induction.

If none of the five received at least 40 votes, the person with the most votes gets in. Inductees will be officially announced Thursday.

And I’m okay with each of these “pillars” of the NFL never being inducted into the HoF. Go Patriots, but in the words of the immortal Col. Jessup (Jack Nicholson) from A Few Good Men - “forget” those 2 guys and their BS reich-wing politics!
