2021 Hall Of Fame Enshrinement Ceremony Will Be Historic

The Pro Football Hall of Fame weekend is going to look a lot different this year.

The actual game will go on as normal. It's set to take place on Thursday, Aug. 5 at 8 p.m. ET, and will feature the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Dallas Cowboys. Sure, it'll have been two years since the last Hall of Fame Game, but it will be familiar.

The enshrinement ceremony will too, but there will be a historic twist to it. It's going to include two classes, the 2020 group and the most recent inductees from 2021. That was decided last June due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Here is a list of the 20 2020 inductees:

Charlean Williams with Pro Football Talk noticed something interesting about these lists: eight of the 28 names above played for either the Steelers or the Cowboys, the two teams who will be playing in the game.
