Thursday night, T.J. Watt wasn’t the only one snubbed. Former Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Buddy Parker was not named one of the 2024 Hall of Fame inductees, a surprising move from those who follow Hall of Fame history and voting process.
One of the two finalists on the Senior Committee, those who make it that far are almost always part of the official class. With no class size restriction at play, NFL historian and Hall of Fame voter Rick Gosselin said he was surprised by Parker’s exclusion.
“Back when we put up one senior or two seniors,” said Gosselin via Talk Of Fame Two.
