LAS VEGAS (AP) — The Pro Football Hall of Fame now has a roster featuring every NFL franchise.
Julius Peppers became the first player drafted by Carolina to make it to the Hall and Andre Johnson became the first for Houston as part of the 2024 class announced Thursday night at NFL Honors.
The Panthers and Texans had been the last two franchises who hadn’t had a player they drafted get voted into the Hall.
“Any time you can be the first player to do something, it's an amazing feeling,” Johnson said. “It just adds more to your legacy. You’ll aways be remembered.”
