During the league’s NFL Honors broadcast, the Pro Football Hall of Fame class of 2024 was announced. In total, five modern-era players received the votes needed to be allowed into the Hall of Fame, along with two senior players. Two of these players, outside linebacker Julius Peppers and defensive tackle Steve McMichael, have ties to the Green Bay Packers.
Peppers, who began his career as the second overall pick of the 2002 draft, spent time with the Carolina Panthers and Chicago Bears prior to joining the Packers. From 2014 to 2016, Peppers played in 48 games, making 43 starts, for Green Bay.
