Breece Hall is excited to see his cousin inducted into @ProFootballHOF (yes, Roger Craig is actually his cousin) https

What happened: Hall expressed excitement ahead of Craig's induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Craig joins the five-member Class of 2026 in Canton on Aug. 8.

Why it matters: The honor caps Craig's long wait after election through the senior finalist process. His versatility helped redefine the possibilities for NFL running backs.

By the numbers: Craig produced 2,036 yards from scrimmage in 1988 and earned Offensive Player of the Year honors. In 1985, he became the first NFL player with 1,000 rushing yards and 1,000 receiving yards in the same season.

What to watch: Craig will receive his Hall of Fame bust during Saturday's enshrinement ceremony at Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium.
