David Baker, President & CEO

Since being named the President of the Pro Football Hall of Fame in January of 2014, David Baker’s leadership has transformed the Hall of Fame.

His physical stature – 6’9” and nearly 400 pounds – is overshadowed by his large vision for the Hall. He has em-barked on an endeavor that has dramatically expanded the Hall of Fame’s brand by focusing on the organization’s powerful Mission to “Honor the Heroes of the Game, Preserve its History, Promote its Values & Celebrate Excellence EVERYWHERE.”

Baker came to Canton with a reputation as an experi-enced and passionate leader in business, politics and sports. He is dedicated to inspiring exponential growth in individuals and organizations of excellence that seek to make a difference in their communities and the world. He possesses a long record of success as a catalyst for growth.

Under his guidance and leadership, the Pro Football Hall of Fame has greatly expanded programming across the country; experienced increased television ratings; received broader exposure of the Hall’s Mission, Values and Vision; and recorded the greatest financial results in the organiza-tion’s 55-year history. In his first four years at the Hall, the organization’s net assets more than doubled.

In 2018, the Pro Football Hall of Fame was voted the Best Attraction for Sports Fans in the USA TODAY 10 Best Readers’ Choice travel award contest.

As Chairman of Johnson Controls Hall of Fame Village, he is leading the mixed-use project that will result in the first-ever sports and entertainment “smart city.” Johnson Controls Hall of Fame Village will transform the Hall’s campus into “Football Heaven” for all who love the Game.

Johnson Controls Hall of Fame Village is comprised of ten main components: the Pro Football Hall of Fame Muse-um; Black College Football Hall of Fame; Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium; Hall of Fame Hotel, a Four-Star Hotel & Conference Center; a Player Care Center that includes Legends Landing Senior Living Community; National Youth Football & Sports Complex; The Center for EXCELLENCE (Coaches University; an Academy of Corporate Excellence; “A Game for Life” Academy; Transition Center for NFL and Military Veterans; the Institute for Officiating and the Cen-ter for Athletic Performance and Safety); a Performance Center with an indoor 100-yard field and convention space; Hall of Fame Promenade (restaurants and support retail that will feature the “World’s Greatest Sports Bar”); and the Hall of Fame Experience (indoor amusement park and a football-themed indoor water park).

Baker’s accomplishments were recognized when he was bestowed the prestigious March of Dimes Sports Leadership Award for 2017. He joined a long list of dis-tinguished winners of the Sports Leadership Award that includes NFL Commissioner Paul Tagliabue, NBA Com-missioner David Stern, NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman and Major League Baseball Commissioner Bud Selig.

Baker is an attorney by trade who earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in English Literature and Criticism from the University of California at Irvine and his Juris Doctorate from the Pepperdine School of Law during which time he served as the Editor-in-Chief of the Pepperdine Law Review.

Baker played professional basketball in Switzerland and worldwide with a Christian basketball team that beat the best in the world. He was elected Mayor and Council-man of Irvine, Calif., the country’s first master-planned city and served for 12 years as the Commissioner of the Arena Football League.

Fueled by his establishment of the first-ever Mission Statement and Fan Bill of Rights in sports, the Arena Football League brand grew dramatically as the most fan-friendly league in the world. Team values escalated from $175,000 to $32 million due, at least in part, to Baker’s ability to negotiate television contracts and his tireless work to establish partnerships with the NFL and major sponsors.

From 2009 to 2014, he served as the Managing Partner for Union Village, the first integrated health village in the world that is located in Henderson, Nevada. The $1.3 billion mixed-use project will provide 17,000 jobs in the community created for 1,500 seniors.

Baker is the father of two boys – Ben who is the Direc-tor of Broadcasting at NASCAR and Sam who played left tackle for the Atlanta Falcons and currently serves as a coach for Mission Viejo High School (Calif.) football team. David and his wife Colleen also have a daughter Leyla and a son, Michael; and are the proud grandpar-ents of ten beautiful grandchildren.

With a focus on the Hall of Fame’s five core values – commitment, integrity, courage, respect and excellence – Baker leads by example at the “The Most Inspiring Place on Earth!”

The Pro Football Hall of Fame opened its doors more than a half century ago. From its humble beginnings in 1963 to today, the Pro Football Hall of Fame has grown in both size and stature. Recognized worldwide as America’s premier sports Hall of Fame, it is doubtful that even the most optimistic of those who led the drive to bring the Hall of Fame to Canton, Ohio could have envisioned the successes it would realize.

An exhilarating museum and attraction, the Hall of Fame pays tribute to the talents and triumphs of pro football’s greatest stars. Chronicled within the walls of the Hall of Fame are the stories and circumstances of play that bring to life words such as courage, dedication, vision, fair play, integrity and excellence.

The Pro Football Hall of Fame has welcomed over 10 million fans. Each year, visitors travel from each of the 50 states in the United States and from upwards of 70 foreign countries to tour the Hall of Fame.

Today, the Hall of Fame reaches tens of millions of additional football fans each year through broad outreach such as national televised events, an in-depth website, educational and youth programs, social media, traveling exhibits, and special events held around the country.

The Pro Football Hall of Fame works collaboratively with the pro football family – the National Football League, the 32 NFL clubs, and other entities. The cooperative efforts of all of these organizations have contributed greatly to the overall success of the Pro Football Hall of Fame. In turn, the Hall strives to serve as the best possible historical showplace and repository for the sport of professional football.

The Pro Football Hall of Fame, after a stringent review process, achieved accreditation by the American Alliance of Museums (AAM), the highest national recognition afforded the nation’s museums, in 2017. Accreditation signifies excellence to the museum community, to governments, funders, outside agencies, and to the museum-going public. The Hall of Fame joins a list of just over 1,070 of the estimated 33,000 museums (a mere 3%) in the United States to earn AAM accreditation. The Pro Football Hall of Fame is the first major sports museum to be accredited.

The Hall of Fame is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit educational institution guided by its Mission to “Honor the Heroes of the Game, Preserve its History, Promote its Values & Celebrate Excellence EVERYWHERE!”

HISTORYThe Pro Football Hall of Fame is located in

Canton, Ohio, for three primary reasons: (1) the American Professional Football Association, later renamed the National Football League, was founded in Canton on Sept. 17, 1920; (2) the Canton Bulldogs were an early-day pro football power, even before the days of the NFL. They were also the first two-time champion of the NFL in 1922 and 1923. The great Jim Thorpe, the first big-name athlete to play pro football, played his first pro football with the Bulldogs, starting in 1915; (3) Canton citizens early in the 1960s launched a determined and well-organized campaign to earn the site designation for their city.

The National Football League awarded the site for the Hall of Fame to Canton in 1961. Groundbreaking for the original construction took place on Aug. 11, 1962 and the Hall opened its doors for the first time on Sept. 7, 1963. Four expansions were completed over the years (1971, 1978, 1995, and 2012-13) that have resulted in the museum growing from its original 19,000 square feet to today’s 118,000-square-foot football facility.

David Baker was named President on Jan. 6, 2014. Previous presidents or executive directors of the Hall of Fame were: Dick McCann (1962-67), Dick Gallagher (1968-1975), Pete Elliott (1979-1996), John Bankert (1996-2005), and Steve Perry (2006-2014).

HOURS OF OPERATIONThe Pro Football Hall of Fame is open every day

of the year except for Thanksgiving and Christmas. From Memorial Day through Labor Day, it is open daily from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. The hours for the remainder of the year are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily. Information on visiting the Hall of Fame can be found at: ProFootballHOF.com/Visit .

INSIDE THE HALL The Pro Football Hall of Fame is a world-

renowned museum that represents its sport in many colorful and entertaining ways. The Hall of Fame continually enhances its exhibits and displays to provide guests with an immersive and experiential visit to “The Most Inspiring Place on Earth!”

Visitors enter the museum through the grand lobby at the center of the building. This area also features a special exhibit gallery with ever-changing themed displays. Guests then begin their visit by walking through a time tunnel of images featuring players from current years spanning back to the beginning of the National Football League. The visitor experience explodes with a visually dynamic and interactive two-level exhibit area in the Hall of

Fame’s original rotunda. “The NFL’s First Century Gallery” ground level includes a towering bronze statue of Jim Thorpe, considered a legend of pro football dating back to his days with the Canton Bulldogs beginning in 1915. The exhibits on the first level present a panoramic view using high-tech interactives and one-of-a-kind artifacts to tell the story of professional football, from its humble beginnings in the early 20th century to the worldwide phenomenon it has become today.

The second floor of “The NFL’s First Century” features historical information regarding professional football in several dramatic themes. Inspirational stories of the game’s pioneers, great players, coaches, and circumstances are told in vivid detail. Pro football’s societal impact is also documented in “Road to Equality” and “Pop Culture.” Bringing these themes to life are audio and video interactives and larger-than-life photographic murals.

Perhaps the most emotional stop during a tour of the museum is the Hall of Fame Gallery that houses the Bronzed Busts of each Hall of Famer. Visitors also have the opportunity to learn about each member of the Hall through touch screen kiosks that include bios, photos, and videos on the inductees.

After the Hall of Fame Gallery, guests proceed to the new holographic theater “A Game for Life.” This extraordinary cutting edge, multi-sensory immersive theater features holographic representations of Hall of Fame legends Joe Namath, George Halas and Vince Lombardi. The experience provides great inspiration to fans by showing them how the game of football also teaches lessons about life. The stories of numerous Hall of Famers, including Jim Kelly, Steve Largent, Alan Page, Jim Brown, Warren Moon and Curtis Martin, are shared. “A Game for Life” was produced and created by some of the leading talent in the film industry and has been receiving rave reviews.

The “Pro Football Today Gallery” examines contemporary themes in the NFL. This area is filled with mementos from recent history-making performances including many milestone moments from the current NFL season. Artifacts are continuously placed on display as they added to the Hall’s extensive collection.

The Lamar Hunt Super Bowl Gallery chronicles, in dramatic fashion, the exciting history of the game from Super Bowl I to present. The gallery uses one-of-a-kind artifacts, exciting game footage and interactive kiosks to help tell the story of how the Super Bowl has become a global phenomena. Super Bowl Theater, a turntable experience, presents the most recent NFL season and Super Bowl in spectacular fashion using the latest technology and the creative works of NFL Films.

As visitors leave the exhibit level of the Hall and return to the ground floor, they enter an interactive area that includes many exciting hands-on experiences including a Madden EA Sports video game suite.

The Mission of the Pro Football Hall of Fame is to “Honor the Heroes of the Game, Preserve its History, Promote its Values & Celebrate Excellence EVERYWHERE!” Nowhere is this mission more evident than inside the Ralph Wilson, Jr. Pro Football Research and Preservation Center, which is named after Class of 2009 enshrinee and Buffalo Bills late founder/owner.

Here is where the documentary evidence of the history of professional football is preserved. Within this state-of-the-art, 10,000-square-foot facility, a vast archive of more than 40 million pages of documents and primary source materials are protected with a climate control system.

also served as the Chief Executive Officer for the Broncos from the time he purchased the club in 1984 until July 2014.

Bowlen has guided the Broncos to great success as the club posted second-highest regular-season winning percentage of any NFL team (1984-2017) (.603 / 327-215-1) – and the third-highest winning percentage in American professional sports. The Broncos have achieved 21 winning seasons, 13 division titles, nine conference championship berths and seven Super Bowl appearances during the Bowlen era.

The Broncos have sold out every game since Week 1 of 1970 and under Bowlen’s leadership, the team has more than 400 consecutive sellouts.

Bowlen is the only owner in NFL history to achieve 300 overall victories during his first 30 seasons. Under his leadership, the Broncos had an incredible run of success. The franchise has won three Super Bowls – XXXII, XXXIII and 50. The Broncos also claimed seven AFC championships under Bowlen (1986, 1987, 1989, 1997, 1998, 2013 and 2015).

Bowlen was elected to the Denver Broncos Ring of Fame in 2015 and is a member of the Colorado Sports Hall of Fame. His outstanding contributions to the Broncos as well as the National Football League has established him as one of the greatest and most influential contributors in league history.

conference championship berths and seven Super Bowl appearances. The club’s success during Mr. Bowlen’s ownership is highlighted by three Super Bowl wins—back-to-back World Championships from 1997-98 and a victory in Super Bowl 50 following the 2015 season.

Whether judged by the measure of wins and championships, attendance, national television exposure or by his and the Broncos’ reputation locally and throughout the NFL, there are few parallels in the world of professional sports. The Broncos’ status was recognized nationally in a 2014 Harris poll that named the franchise “America’s Team.”

The Denver Broncos are the soul of the city, Mr. Bowlen serves as the owner and steward of this sterling franchise, and the legend of both team and owner are marked by achievement and success at every level. The Broncos have grown from being Denver’s first major league franchise in 1960 to Colorado’s state religion.

A member of the Colorado Sports Hall of Fame, Mr. Bowlen’s championship mentality includes an extraordinary commitment to the community. As chairman of the board of Denver Broncos Charities, he has donated nearly $30 million to charitable organizations in the Denver area since the inception of that fund in 1993.

His status and reputation as an owner were recognized locally in 2013 when he received the Mizel Institute Community Enrichment Award, the region’s most prestigious philanthropic accolade,

MEDIA GUIDE EXCERPTS2018 Biography from Denver Broncos

Pat Bowlen enters his 35th season as Owner of the Denver Broncos in 2018, and his tenure of ownership is indelibly stamped as one of the most successful periods for any team in National Football League history.

The longest-tenured owner of a professional sports team in Colorado history and the only owner in NFL history to achieve 300 overall victories during his first 30 seasons, Mr. Bowlen has guided the franchise to an unprecedented run of success during his three-plus decades in Denver.

His outstanding contributions to the Broncos, the NFL and the community have established him as one of the greatest and most influential contributors in professional football history.

Elected to the Denver Broncos Ring of Fame in 2015, Mr. Bowlen presides over a franchise that is one of the crown jewels among NFL clubs. With more Super Bowl appearances (7) than losing seasons (6) during Mr. Bowlen’s ownership, the Broncos are, by any definition, at the pinnacle of professional sports franchises.

Owning the second-highest regular-season winning percentage of any NFL team (.603 / 327-215-1)—and the third-highest win percentage in all of American professional sports—under Pat Bowlen, the Broncos in that span have achieved 21 winning seasons, 13 division titles, nine

for his community leadership and commitment to the city of Denver and state of Colorado. In 2017, a youth development park in Commerce City was dedicated as “Pat Bowlen Field” in recognition of Mr. Bowlen’s tremendous contributions to the Boys & Girls Clubs of Metro Denver, including the 14-year funding of the Denver Broncos Boys & Girls Club.

Mr. Bowlen’s culture of winning and integrity has permeated the Rocky Mountain region. Winners of five of the last seven AFC West Division titles, the Broncos operate with a relentless approach to be the best at everything. He has positioned the franchise to pursue its fourth World Championship to add to its winning tradition, and Mr. Bowlen’s commitment to that goal is unwavering.

The Broncos’ owner has fashioned a powerful reputation among his peers as a bold, dynamic leader who is single-minded in his pursuit of excellence, whether representing the Broncos, the city of Denver, the state of Colorado or the National Football League. He presides over a franchise that by any standard has been one of the NFL’s most successful in his three decades of club ownership (1984-present).

Mr. Bowlen’s seven Super Bowl appearances are the second most among pro football owners. Denver’s 13 division titles since 1984 rank fourth among NFL clubs, and its 28 seasons with a .500 or better record during that span are easily the most in the league.

Denver is the only team to post at least 90 wins in each of the last three decades, and the franchise’s 348 overall victories under Mr. Bowlen (1984-pres.) are the second most in the NFL during that span.

In addition, Denver’s 344 national television appearances under Mr. Bowlen are the most in the league. That total includes a league-high 160 prime-time games as well as 144 appearances as part of network doubleheaders.

For many years, Mr. Bowlen’s reputation as an outstanding owner has been well known nationally as he is held in the highest regard by fans, players, coaches, his peers and NFL executives. In 1987, he finished second in The Sporting News Executive of the Year balloting. In December 2000, ESPN conducted a fan poll asking which NFL owner would be the best for which to play. Mr. Bowlen finished first among all NFL owners with 44.7 percent of the more than 60,000 votes cast.

In addition to his unmistakable impact with the Denver Broncos, Mr. Bowlen has had a profound influence on the growth of the NFL. He has served on 15 league committees during his ownership, helping negotiate record-breaking television contracts and ensuring years of labor peace with several extensions to the NFL’s Collective Bargaining Agreement.

Pat Bowlen was introduced as the majority owner of the Denver Broncos on March 23, 1984, and that announcement triggered a new era in franchise history. Mr. Bowlen and the Bowlen family acquired 100 percent ownership of the Broncos in July 1985, and currently his brother John Bowlen owns a minority interest in the Broncos.

Mr. Bowlen immediately put his own mark on the Broncos, establishing a solid administration and creating a positive atmosphere that was a major factor in the team’s success both on and off the field.

Champions are built from the top, and Pat Bowlen is a model of leadership in the scope of his drive and commitment. “I want us to be number one in everything,” Mr. Bowlen has often said in a recurring theme that marks his management style. Everyone knows that it is the owner who provides the financial backing that is integral to a championship team, but many fans are unaware that much of the heart, soul and drive of this championship organization come directly from Pat Bowlen .

He has made all of his managerial moves with one goal in mind—to aggressively position the Denver Broncos for another Super Bowl championship. No one sets higher standards for the Broncos than Pat Bowlen, whose goals have always been to have his franchise regarded among the finest in pro sports with victory being the measuring stick for that success.

Thus, the ultimate goal of this iconic owner remains firmly set on repeating the Broncos’ World Championship seasons of 1997, 1998 and 2015.

* * *

Below is a summary of the Denver Broncos’ success during Mr. Bowlen’s ownership (1984-Pres.):

•The Denver Broncos won three Super Bowls—Back-to-back World Championships in 1997 (Super Bowl XXXII vs. the Green Bay Packers, 31-24) and 1998 (Super Bowl XXXIII vs. the Atlanta Falcons, 34-19) as well as in 2015 (Super Bowl 50 vs. the Carolina Panthers, 24-10).

•Denver became the sixth NFL franchise to win back-to-back Super Bowls, joining Green Bay, Miami, Pittsburgh (twice), San Francisco and Dallas. The Broncos became the first AFC team to do it in two decades.

•When the Broncos won Super Bowl XXXII, they were the first AFC team to win in 14 years and just the second wild card team to win a Super Bowl under the NFL’s present playoff system.

•The Broncos own seven AFC Championships under Pat Bowlen (1986, 1987, 1989, 1997, 1998, 2013, 2015).

•He was responsible for the Broncos’ headquarters, the UCHealth Training Center, a state-of-the-art office and training facility located on the team’s 13.5-acre complex in South Arapahoe County.

In 2014, the facility underwent $38 million in renovations and construction, including the addition of a state-of-the-art indoor practice facility, the Pat Bowlen Fieldhouse.

biography (before Brandt’s last season with the Cowboys)

Gil Brandt is the man responsible for finding the football players who have made the Cowboys a winning team for a remarkable 20 of the past 22 years.

Brandt has been the Coyboy’s chief talent scout since the club’s birth in 1960. He had served as a part-time scout for the Los Angeles Rams under General Manager Tex Schramm in the 1950s. When Schramm took command of the newly formed Dallas Cowboys in 1960, one of the first people he hired was Brandt. Schramm, Brandt and Coach Tom Landry form the triumverate which has guided the Cowboys since 1960.

Brandt helped pioneer many of the scouting techniques used by NFL clubs today, such as computer analysis of prospects, converting basketball players and track athletes into football players and finding top free agent rookies, such as Drew pearson, Cliff Harris and Everson Walls.

A native of Milwaukee and a graduate of the University of Wisconsin, Brandt worked as a baby photographer before his flair of discovering football talent led him into the NFL.

The Kansas City Chiefs selected Tony Gonzalez out of the University of California in the first round of the 1997 NFL Draft. He retired 17 seasons later as the all-time leader in catches,

yards and touchdowns by a tight end. While Gonzalez made an immediate impact

as a rookie, his breakout season came during his third year when he led the Chiefs in receiving with 76 catches for 849 yards and 11 touchdown receptions to earn his first of 14 Pro Bowl nods. That same season, he was named first-team All-Pro for the first of seven times. He followed that season with an even better year in 2000 when he caught 93 passes for 1,203 yards and nine touchdowns.

Other than his rookie year, Gonzalez never caught less than 59 passes in a season during his career and surpassed 80 catches eight times. He led the NFL in receptions in 2004 with a career-high 102 catches and reached 1,000 yards for the second time in his career.

Gonzalez was traded to the Atlanta Falcons in 2009. It was with the Falcons, in 2012, that Gonzalez reached his lone conference championship game. Unfortunately, even though Gonzalez caught eight passes for 78 yards and a touchdown, the Falcons fell to the San Francisco 49ers 28-24.

Gonzalez’s final career numbers are staggering. They read 1,325 receptions for 15,127 yards and

T O N Y G O N Z A L E Z , C L A S S O F 2 0 1 9111 TDs. Gonzalez eclipsed 900-yards receiving in a season nine times and had 10 or more TDs in a season three times.

He played in 270 regular season games and missed just one game during his career. At the time of his retirement, Gonzalez ranked second in career receptions (1,325), most seasons with 50 or more receptions (16) and most consecutive games with a reception (211). He also ranked fifth all-time in receiving yards (15,127).

Gonzalez led the Chiefs in receiving eight times and the Falcons once. He is a member of the NFL All-Decade Team of the 2000s.

Kevin Mawae joined the Seattle Seahawks in 1994 as the team’s second round draft pick (36th overall). Over the next 16 seasons, Mawae evolved into one of the greatest

centers in the league. Mawae spent his first two seasons with the

Seahawks as a right guard before switching exclusively to the center position for the remainder of his career. After four seasons in Seattle, Mawae signed with the New York Jets. He exhibited tremendous athleticism and was a teammate that could always be relied upon to perform his duties at a high level.

Mawae, in his first season with the Jets, helped the team earn a division title and a berth in the AFC championship game. During his years in New York, he helped pave the way for seven of Hall of Fame running back Curtis Martin’s ten 1,000-yards seasons. After eight seasons with the Jets, Mawae suffered a torn tricep in his left arm – the first major injury of his professional career. After he recovered, Mawae joined the Tennessee Titans as an unrestricted free agent in 2006.

During his tenure with the Titans, Mawae helped set a franchise benchmark in 2008 with an

biography DOES NOT INCLUDE MAWAE’S FINAL SEASON (2009)

PRO:

In his three seasons with the Titans, Kevin Mawae has delivered credibility, leadership, veteran savvy and athleticism to the offensive line. He earned recognition in 2008 with his seventh career Pro Bowl invitation and a first-team Associated Press All-Pro selection. A technician at the center position, the team captain has played a pivotal role in the Titans ranking in the Top 10 in the NFL in rushing in each of the past three seasons. Including Travis Henry’s 1,211 rushing yards 2006, LenDale White’s 1,110 rushing yards in 2007 and Chris Johnson’s 1,228 yards in 2008, Mawae has blocked for a 1,000-yard running back in 12 of his 15 NFL seasons. Signed by the Titans as an unrestricted free agent on March 14, 2006, he was one of the club’s major free agency acquisitions in recent years. Prior to his arrival in Tennessee, Mawae spent his first four NFL seasons with the Seattle Seahawks (1994-97) and then eight seasons with the New York Jets (1998-05). With 225 career games, including 222 starts, Mawae ranks first in the NFL among current offensive linemen in career games played. The only player currently on the Titans roster with more experience than Mawae is punter Craig Hentrich (239). Additionally, Mawae has played and started in seven postseason games throughout his career, all with the Jets. In 2005, his final year with the Jets, he started six games before suffering a torn tricep in his left arm. The injury, which was the first of his career that took him out of the lineup, forced him to be placed on injured reserve and ended a consecutive streak of 177 games played (59 with Seattle and 118 with the Jets). It also ended his run of six consecutive Pro Bowl selections (1999-04). During his Jets career, the 6-foot-4, 289-pound center helped Jets running backs to 44 100-yard games and paved the way for Curtis Martin to become the NFL’s fourth all-time leading rusher. Martin eclipsed the 1,000-yard barrier in seven of the eight seasons Mawae was with the Jets (1998-05). In 2004, Martin led the

The Baltimore Ravens selected Ed Reed out of the University of Miami (Fla.) in the first round, 24th overall, of the 2002 NFL Draft. Over the next 12 seasons, Reed exuded excellence

on the field and quickly became one of the most accomplished safeties in the league.

Reed started all 16 games during his rookie season and became a vital member of the Ravens’ dominant defense. In his first professional season, he logged 85 tackles (71 solo), five interceptions, 12 passes defensed, one sack and one fumble recovery. He led Baltimore in interceptions as a rookie and seven of his eleven seasons with the club.

From 2006-2012, Reed helped lead the Ravens defensive that was vital to four AFC North Division titles, three AFC championship game appearances and one Super Bowl championship.

While the Ravens fell short in both 2008 and 2011, in 2012 they blazed through the playoffs and defeated the New England Patriots 28-13 in the AFC championship. Baltimore then faced the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl XLVII where Reed contributed five tackles, one interception and one pass defensed during a 34-31 victory.

After 11 seasons with the Ravens, Reed was signed by the Houston Texans as a free agent before the 2013 season. He played in seven games

1960-71 DALLAS TEXANS/

KANSAS CITY CHIEFS (12 PLAYING SEASONS)

Height: 6-1; Weight: 205 College: Louisiana StatePro Career: 12 seasons, 164 gamesDrafted: 1st round in 1960 AFL Draft by Dallas Texans; Also selected by Detroit in 1st (3rd player overall) in 1960 NFL Draft.Uniform Number: 42

Full Name: Johnny Nolan Robinson Birthdate: Sept. 9, 1938 Birthplace: Delhi, La. High School: University (Baton Rouge, La.)

Elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame: Feb. 2, 2019 Enshrined into the Pro Football Hall of Fame: Aug. 3, 2019 Other Members of the Class of 2019: Champ Bailey, Pat Bowlen, Gil Brandt, Tony Gonzalez, Ty Law, Kevin Mawae, Ed Reed

as a halfback (1960-61) and safety (1962-1971) during his 12-year career.

Robinson, as a halfback during the franchise’s first two seasons, rushed for 658 yards and six TDs on 150 carries and caught 77 passes for 1,228 yards and nine scores. He was switched to the defensive secondary by Coach Hank Stram as it was felt Robinson’s size, speed, aggressiveness and leadership were better suited at safety. In just his second game at the new position, he snagged two interceptions against the Oakland Raiders on Sept. 23, 1962. He recorded a pair of interceptions again, in the 1962 AFL Championship Game to help the Texans to 20-7 victory over the Houston Oilers to claim the league title.

Robinson’s high-level performance continued for the rest of his career and he seemed to always perform the best during the biggest games. He had two tackles, one fumble recovery and one interception returned for nine yards in the Chiefs historic 23-7 win over the Minnesota Vikings in Super Bowl IV.

Robinson was the third-leading interceptor in AFL history with 43 picks and was named to the AFL’s All-Time Team. By the time his career came to an end in 1971, his 57 career interceptions ranked first in team history. He led the AFL in picks with 10 in 1966 and topped the NFL in 1970 with 10. Opponents soon learned that an interception by Robinson equated to a certain loss. The Texans/Chiefs recorded a remarkable 35-3-1 record in games when he had an interception.

Robinson was a five-time All-AFL selection (1965-69) and voted to the AFL All-Star Game six times and to the AFC-NFC Pro Bowl following the 1970 season.

Johnny Robinson was drafted by the Dallas Texans (who became the Kansas City Chiefs) in the 1960 AFL Draft. The All-Conference running back at LSU was also drafted in the

NFL with the third overall pick by the Detroit Lions but chose to sign with upstart league. He excelled

Charged with the vital task of continuing to be certain that new enshrinees are the finest the game has produced is the Pro Football Hall of Fame’s 48-person Selection Committee.

The Committee consists of one media representative from each pro football city with two from New York and Los Ange-les, inasmuch as those cities have two teams in the National Football League. A 33rd member is a representative of the Pro Football Writers of America and there are 15 at-large delegates.

With the exception of the PFWA representative who is appointed for a two-year term, all appointments are of the open-end variety and can be terminated only by retirement or resignation, as long as the member continues to attend meetings regularly.

The Selection Committee meets annually on the eve of the Super Bowl to elect new members. There is no set number for any class of enshrinees but, the Committee’s current ground rules do stipulate that between four and eight new members will be selected each year. The 1973 and 1976 classes of three were the smallest ever named.

Every candidate is carefully scrutinized and must receive at least 80 percent approval of the Committee at the annual meeting before he can be elected. A scale of negative votes for elimination that will vary depending on the number of Selectors in attendance is used.

When the Selectors met in February to name the Class of 2019, they had before them a roster of 18 final candidates, along with detailed biographies on each. To assure that older players will be considered along with the more recently retired, the Seniors Committee – made up of nine veteran members of the overall Selection Committee – named two nominees from the pre-1994 era to be included on the final list .

A bylaws change to the selection process was approved by the Pro Football Hall of Fame’s Board of Trustees in August 2014 by which a Contributor – defined as an individual who has “made outstanding contributions to professional football in capacities other than playing or coaching” – will automatically be included among the annual list of finalists for election.

PRO FOOTBALL HALL OF FAME SELECTION COMMITTEE

Contributor finalists were also voted on for election indepen-dent of all other finalists.

The Board, in an effort to address the backlog of deserving Contributor candidates, also approved a temporary measure allowing for two Contributor finalists in years one (starting with the Class of 2015), three and five, of the next five years. In years two and four of that same period, there will be just one Contributor finalist. At the end of the five-year period (2019), the number of Contributor finalists going forward will be one per year.

To keep the maximum number of nominees elected at no more than eight per year, the Senior finalists will be reduced from two to one per year in years one, three and five of the same five-year period. In years two and four and each year thereafter, there will be two Senior finalists, as is now the practice.

The Contributor finalists will be selected annually, by five members, on a rotational basis, of a nine-member subcom-mittee of the Selection Committee .

The other finalists will be the survivors from a preliminary list of Modern-Era candidates that the Committee will have screened by mail ballot. That original list will have been in part provided by the fans themselves.

Any fan may nominate any qualified person who has been connected with pro football in any capacity simply by writing to the Pro Football Hall of Fame. The only restriction is that a player and coach must have last played or coached at least five seasons before he can be considered. For example, a candidate for the 2019 class must have concluded his career no later than the 2013 season.

There is no mandatory retirement period for a contributor. Every nomination received will be processed and forwarded to the Selection Committee .

It is important to emphasize that the Hall of Fame itself has no say whatsoever as to who is or is not elected to member-ship. The only function of the staff is to process the nomina-tions as they arrive and to coordinate all reduction voting and Committee Meetings, including the annual meeting.

Does the Hall of Fame Nominate individuals?

The Hall of Fame receives nominations but does not make them. Any person, including the 48 elite members of the Selection Committee may place in nomination any eligible players, coaches or con-tributors.

What Happens After Someone is Nominated as a Modern-Era

Nominee?

A nomination is NOT a vote for election. The Hall of Fame’s selection process includes multiple steps in which the nominees are scrutinized. The Hall facilitates the procedure of three successive reviews of increasing scrutiny with its 48 selectors. The first is a vote to reduce the long list of Modern-Era nominees (typically around 100) to 25 semifinalists, followed by a later vote to reduce to 15 finalists. At the annual “Selection Saturday” Meeting, the final-ists are scrutinized even further by the Selectors, who after a thorough discussion of each nominee reduce the list from 15 to 10 and then 10 to 5. At that point, the five remaining nominees are voted on for membership on a yes or no basis. A minimum positive vote of 80 percent is necessary for election.

Who Selects New Hall of Fame Members

The Pro Football Hall of Fame’s 48-person Selection Committee is charged with the vital task of continuing to be sure that new enshrinees are the finest the game has produced.

The Committee consists of one media representa-tive from each pro football city with two from New York and Los Angeles, inasmuch as those cities have two teams in the National Football League. There are 16 at-large selectors, all of whom are also active members of the media including one representative of the Pro Football Writers of America, and two members of the Hall of Fame.

The Selection Committee meets annually on “Selection Saturday,” the day before the Super Bowl in the host city to elect new members to the Hall of Fame. There is no set number of new enshrinees, but the Committee’s current ground rules do stipu-late that between four and eight new members will be selected each year. Every candidate is carefully scrutinized and must receive at least 80 percent approval of the Committee at the annual meeting before he can be elected.

How Are New Enshrinees Selected?

Any fan may nominate any player, coach or con-tributor who has been connected with pro football simply by writing to the Pro Football Hall of Fame. The only restriction is that a player and coach must have been retired at least five years before he can be considered. There is no mandatory retirement period for a contributor before he may be consid-ered. Every nomination of an eligible candidate received will be processed and forwarded to the Hall of Fame’s Selection Committee.

Each year, the Selection Committee will be polled three times before the Final List of Modern-Era Preliminary Nominees is determined. The Initial Preliminary List of nominations is compiled and sent to the Hall of Fame’s Selection Committee by March 1. The list is provided so that the selectors can study the nominees and then request the addition of any other candidates that may have been overlooked. Included on this list are first-time eligible candidates who have strong enough credentials to give them even a remote chance of eventual Hall of Fame election. Also included are all other eligible candidates nominated by any person. Additionally, those Modern-Era nominees from the previous year’s final preliminary list who received at least four votes in the balloting to determine the modern-era finalists are automatically included on this preliminary list.

The Second Preliminary List is sent to the selec-tors during the month of July and includes all the nominees named on the initial list plus any addition-al nominations received from any source since the first list was compiled.

The Third Preliminary List of eligible candidates is sent to the Selection Committee during the month of September for the purpose of the selection of the Modern-Era Semifinalists for election. From the Third Preliminary List the Selection Committee is asked to vote for 25 Modern Era Nominees who become Semifinalists for election.

The Final Preliminary List of 25 Modern-Era nomi-nees plus all ties (if any) for the twenty fifth position shall be distributed to the Selection Committee during the month of November for the purpose of the selection of 15 Modern-Era Nominees. The 16th, 17th, and 18th finalists are the recommend-ed candidates of the Seniors and Contributors Committees, that on alternating years present one or two nominees to the Selection Committee.

FAQ ABOUT THE PRO FOOTBALL HALL OF FAME’S SELECTION PROCESS

- 88 -


In advance of both meetings, each selector is provided with detailed biographical information on the candidates.

Seniors Committee members are assisted during their annual meeting by two Hall of Fame consul-tants, chosen by the Hall’s President, who were con-temporaries of the majority of the nominees. The consultants offer only their opinions and are not entitled to vote. After each candidate is discussed thoroughly, the consultants are excused from the meeting. Additional discussion is conducted fol-lowed by a series of reduction votes that results in the naming of the Senior Nominee(s).

Contributors Committee members are also assist-ed during their annual meeting by two consultants and follow the same guidelines as described above for the Seniors Committee consultants.

Although the Senior Nominee(s) and Contributor Nominee(s) will be presented to the full Selection Committee as finalists, their election to the Hall of Fame is not automatic. The Senior Nominee(s) and Contributor Nominee(s) must receive the same min-imum 80% of the vote as a Modern-Era candidate to be elected.

Is a New Hall of Fame Member Enshrined as a Member of a Team?

Obviously, teams take great pride in the accom-plishments of individuals who have been a part of their organization. Often individual teams and even the Hall of Fame will list enshrinees according to the team or teams on which they spent a significant period of time. An enshrinee, however, is not asked to “declare,” nor does the Hall of Fame “choose” a team under which a new member is enshrined. When elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame, an individual is recognized for accomplishments as a player, coach, or contributor.

In advance of the Hall of Fame Selection Meeting in February, the selectors are provided detailed biographies on each of the 18 finalists. At the annu-al meeting on “Selection Saturday,” each finalist is thoroughly discussed by the committee before a series of reduction votes are taken. First, the senior candidate(s) and Contributor candidate(s) are discussed and voted on for election. They must receive the same 80 percent affirmative vote as the Modern-Era candidates. Next, there is a vote that reduces the Modern-Era finalists list from 15 to 10. Following that, a vote is taken to reduce the list from 10 to 5 names. The five remaining candidates for Hall of Fame election are then voted on individ-ually (yes or no) for membership.

In order to be elected a finalist must receive a minimum of 80% of the vote. All ballots are col-lected and counted by the firm Deloitte & Touche. No vote totals are announced – only the winners of the various reduction ballots are revealed to the selectors and the Hall’s representatives.

How Are Senior and Contributor Candidates Chosen?

To assure that older players, whose active careers have been completed at least 25 years, as well as those individuals who contributed to the game in ways other than playing and coaching will be considered along with the Modern-Era players and coaches, a Seniors Committee and a Contributors Committee, have been established. Each of these committees are made up of nine veteran members of the overall Selection Committee.

Like the full Committee, the members of the Seniors Committee and the Contributors Committee are provided a preliminary list of eligible nominees. The list, which is compiled and mailed to the selectors, includes carry-over nominations from the previous year, first-time eligible candidates, and nominations from any outside source.

By way of a mail ballot, the Senior Committee members reduce the list to 15 Senior Nominee final-ists. The Contributors Committee reduces their list to 10 Contributor Nominee finalists. Five members of the nine-man Seniors Committee, selected on a rotating basis, are designated to attend the annual Seniors Committee meeting held in Canton, where they are charged with the responsibility of nominat-ing candidate(s) from that list to be among the 18 finalists for Hall of Fame election. The same pro-cedure is followed by the Contributors Committee who also meet annually in Canton.

ELIGIBILITY CHARTA player or coach must not have played or coached for five full seasons before he is eligible for election to the Pro Football Hall of Fame. The chart below can be used as a quick reference to determine when a player or coach will be, was, or is first eligible for the Hall of Fame.

NOTE: In this listing – a Hall of Famer is named under all clubs on which he made his primary contribution to professional football – (i.e. – Chuck Noll is listed under Pittsburgh as a coach – but not under Cleveland as a player). Hall of Famers who made the major part of their primary contribution for any one club are listed in CAPS. In cases where a player contributed about equally and/or in a major way to two or more clubs – he is listed in CAPS under both clubs (ie. Curley Culp is listed with both the Chiefs and the Titans (Oilers) as his primary teams). Hall of Famers who spent only a minor portion of their career with any club are listed under that club in lower case.(The numbers inside of the parentheses following the team’s name indicates the number of primary Hall of Famers followed by the number of Hall of Famers who spent a minor portion of their career with the team).Year - Subscript next to Hall of Famer’s name is the year of his induction.

(Since 1970) * Seniors Candidate # Contributor Candidate – In those cases when a player’s career ended prior to 1963, the year of eligibility is based on the amount of years since the Hall opened in 1963 rather than the years from when the player last played. – Prior to 1970, the procedure of naming 15 Finalists was not defined. In 2007, bylaws changed to include 17 Finalists comprised of 15 Modern-Era nominees and two Senior Candidates. A Contributor category was added for the 2015 Selection Process bringing the total number of Finalists to 18.

He was finalist twice (2001, 2002) following his announced retirement as head coach of the New York Jets in 1999. At the time, the Hall of Fame By-Laws only required a coach to be retired and not the now five-season waiting period. Parcells returned to coach the Dallas Cowboys and the five-year waiting period was in effect when he retired from coaching in 2006 thereby making him eligble in 2012.

“The virtuous part of having this patience also means that the day I was selected to the Hall of Fame this last January couldn’t have been a better day because it would have been the 100th anniversary of the birth of Art Rooney, Sr., the founder of this football team.

“If 14 years had not passed, then I would not be here today with the great patience, and support, and love of my wife Charena. Of being able to stand here in front of you and having my two sons Shafer and Braxton, who are five and three years old to be here and be a part of this afternoon. I’m glad 14 years passed so I could have this love and this family share in this moment with me.”

- Excerpt from Lynn Swann’s enshrinement speech on August 4, 2001. Swann was a finalist for 14 straight years.

Reduction votes during annual Selection Meeting.

The Selection Committee first pares the list from 15 to 10; then 10 to 5. At that point, a yes or no vote is tabulated of the final five finalists. An individual is elected to the Hall of Fame if he receives at least 80 percent affirmative vote. The reduction votes have varied over the years. Included with this list are the reduction votes that took place under the rules at the time. In the past, the finalists numbered 15 that included 13 Modern-Era candi-dates and the two senior nominees and the senior nominees were included in the reduction vote. The reduction votes are listed from 1999 to 2019.

In the Beginning The original stadium was built from 1937-1939 at an estimated cost of $500,000. The federal government in the form of man power, the WPA, paid for $400,000 while a school board bond issue paid for the materials. The stadium originally seated 15,000 and was the largest high school stadium in the country at that time. Formerly known as Fawcett Stadium after John A. Fawcett, a community leader, member of the Canton City school board, and a gifted athlete, the stadium was renamed Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium in 2014.

The Future A key component of Johnson Controls Hall of Fame Village project is Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium. The venue is a world-class sports and entertainment sports complex that includes a permanent stage built into the stands at the 50-yard line. The stadium is designed by HKS, a world renowned architectural firm that previously developed AT&T Stadium for the Dallas Cowboys and U.S. Bank Stadium for the Minnesota Vikings.

“Although the scale and capacity of this venue is not as large as some of our more recent football stadiums, the quality of the fan experience and overall intimacy within the venue will be unmatched in sports.” – Mark Williams, HKS

Forbes included Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium among its “13 Game-Changing NFL Stadiums.” Enshrinement Ceremony The Pro Football Hall of Fame’s enshrinement ceremony is one of the great events in sports. In 2002, the annual enshrinement was moved from the Hall’s front steps back to the stadium, where it had been held from 1963 to 1965.

Hall of Fame Game The Hall of Fame Game series began in 1962, one year before the museum opened. A National Football League preseason game has been played in Canton each year except three since that inaugural game. No game was played in 1966 as the preseason schedule was not set in time to include Canton for a neutral site game. The game was canceled in 2011 due to a lockout and in 2016 due to respect for player safety based on the condition of the field.

Beginning in 1971, following the AFL-NFL merger, an AFC vs. NFC format was adopted for the Hall of Fame series. Preset schedules were created that called for each team to make a visit to Canton over 14- and 15-year periods through 1994. In 1995, the Hall of Fame Game showcased the debut of the league’s newest expansion teams - the Carolina Panthers and Jacksonville Jaguars. Since that time, the teams for the Hall of Fame Game normally includes teams with significant milestones (such as the return of the Cleveland Browns in 1999 and the Houston Texans inaugural game in 2002) or a connection to the Hall’s class of enshrinees.

The inaugural game (1962) and those from 1967 through 1997 were played on Saturday afternoons. The Hall of Fame games were played on Sunday afternoons from 1963 to 1965. In 1998, the Hall of Fame game was switched to primetime with kickoff moved to Saturday evening. One year later, the game moved to Monday night. From 2006 to 2016, the Hall of Fame Game was played on Sunday night. In 2017, the game was switched to Thursday night.

The Hall of Fame Game was televised nationally by ABC from 1971-2005. In 2006, NBC broadcast the game followed by the NFL Network in 2007. The game returned to NBC in 2008. The game was broadcast by NFL Network in 2012 and was scheduled for ESPN in 2016.

HALL OF FAME GAME FACTS

The Cincinnati Bengals, who beat the Los Angeles Rams in 1988, became the first team to play in the Hall of Fame Game and advance to the Super Bowl in the same season. The 2001 St. Louis Rams are the only other team to play in Canton to start a run to the Super Bowl.

***

Teams that have won or tied the Hall of Fame Game have qualified for the playoffs that same season 24 times. Included in the number are 14 teams that claimed division titles after leaving Canton without a loss. During one particular 14-year stretch from 1980-1993, all but two of the teams that won or tied the Hall of Fame game advanced to the postseason that year.
