Best moments from 2026 Pro Football Hall of Fame enshrinement ceremony

Five legendary former NFL players received their Hall of Fame busts Saturday during a marquee enshrinement ceremony.

Drew Brees, Larry Fitzgerald, Adam Vinatieri, Luke Kuechly, and Roger Craig all delivered touching and unforgettable moments in front of a star-studded crowd in Canton, Ohio.

Here are some event highlights from each Hall of Famer:

Drew Brees

Quarterback, San Diego Chargers-New Orleans Saints, 2001-20

Brees' enshrinement was the day's main event - and it didn't disappoint. Saints fans couldn't be happier to see Brees in Canton, with Sean Payton presenting him and several notable players, including former pass-catchers Michael Thomas, Jimmy Graham, and Marques Colston, in attendance.

Brees delivered an amazing message to New Orleans. The 13-time Pro Bowler helped change the city and led the Saints to their first Super Bowl title in 2010 after joining the team in 2006, their first season back at the Superdome following Hurricane Katrina.

Larry Fitzgerald

Wide receiver, Arizona Cardinals, 2004-20

Fitzgerald's son, Devin, presented the Cardinals legend to the Hall of Fame and helped him unveil his bust on stage.

Fitzgerald's touching speech included a special shoutout to Hall of Fame receiver Randy Moss.

Adam Vinatieri

Kicker, New England Patriots-Indianapolis Colts, 1996-2019

Vinatieri made his relatives in attendance tear up, but the iconic kicker's speech will be best remembered for roasting Bill Belichick, Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, and even Pat McAfee.

Belichick, who shockingly missed out on the class of 2026, and Brady weren't in attendance Saturday. Vinatieri played with both Brady and Manning, helping the two legendary QBs win the Super Bowl.

Luke Kuechly

Linebacker, Carolina Panthers, 2012-19

Kuechly's dad helped induct the former Defensive Player of the Year into the Hall of Fame. Of course, Panthers fans in attendance got another opportunity to show love to Kuechly.

Roger Craig

Running back, San Francisco 49ers-Los Angeles Raiders-Minnesota Vikings,1983-93

The wait was worth it for Craig, who had a priceless reaction to his Hall of Fame bust.

The senior category inductee also delivered a powerful and emotional prerecorded video speech, revealing that he's been diagnosed with vascular dementia. The 49ers legend said doctors believe that it's likely in part due to the concussions he suffered during his football career.

"I hope sharing my story encourages people to pay attention to their health," Craig said.
