Former New England Patriots kicker Stephen Gostkowski and wide receiver Julian Edelman were listed among the first-time eligibles for the Pro Football Hall of Fame Class of 2026, via ESPN's Adam Schefter.
They'll soon join a long list of players hoping to be permanently enshrined in Canton.
Gostkowski had a remarkable career with the Patriots, stepping in after the departure of Adam Vinatieri in 2006. He spent 14 seasons with the Patriots, finishing as the franchise's all-time leading scorer with 1,775 points. He won three Super Bowls with the organization and led the league in scoring five times.
