NFL Hall of Fame Class of 2018: A Look Back
The NFL Hall of Fame Class of 2018 was a star-studded group, featuring some of the most prominent names in football history. Among the inductees were Randy Moss, Brian Urlacher, Ray Lewis, and Brian Dawkins, all renowned for their exceptional careers and numerous accolades.
Randy Moss, the wide receiver, played for several teams including the Minnesota Vikings, Oakland Raiders, New England Patriots, Tennessee Titans, and San Francisco 49ers. He was the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year, a 5-time NFL receiving touchdowns leader, and 4-time First-team All-Pro.
Brian Urlacher, a linebacker, represented the Chicago Bears. His notable achievements include being named NFL Defensive Player of the Year, selected 4 times as First-team All-Pro, and 8 times for the Pro Bowl.
Ray Lewis, a linebacker for the Baltimore Ravens, is a 2-time Super Bowl champion and Super Bowl MVP.
Brian Dawkins, a safety who played for the Philadelphia Eagles and Denver Broncos, was selected 9 times to the Pro Bowl and 4 times as First-team All-Pro.
Other candidates for the 2018 class included Steve Atwater, Ronde Barber, Isaac Bruce, LeRoy Butler, Don Coryell, Roger Craig, Alan Faneca, Torry Holt, Steve Hutchinson, Joe Jacoby, Edgerrin James, Jimmy Johnson, John Lynch, Kevin Mawae, Karl Mecklenburg, Leslie O'Neal, Terrell Owens, Simeon Rice, Richard Seymour, Everson Walls, Hines Ward, and Tony Boselli. Boselli, a tackle for the Jacksonville Jaguars, was selected 3 times as First-team All-Pro and 5 times for the Pro Bowl.
While specific details on the 2018 induction class are not readily available, the standard criteria for such candidates revolve around career longevity, individual honors, statistical milestones, and contributions to championship teams. These criteria align with the type of players later inducted, such as those in the 2025 class (e.g., Eric Allen, Jared Allen, Sterling Sharpe, Antonio Gates) who had multiple accolades and records in their positions.
As we look forward to future Hall of Fame classes, it's clear that the NFL continues to honour exceptional players, coaches, and contributors who have made significant impacts on the game.
