When will Tom Brady be eligible for the Hall of Fame?
Tom Brady will undoubtedly be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame the first year he appears on the ballot, but when will that be?
Professional football players must spend a minimum of five years retired in order to be voted into the Hall of Fame, so after today’s announcement of Brady, we can assure you that he will be enshrined as part of the Hall of Fame class of 2028, as soon as his eligibility requirements are met.
Should this morning’s retirement announcement truly be the end of @TomBrady’s illustrious career, 2028 is a year worth noting. pic.twitter.com/w6xIaYKDe2
