What happened: Commissioner Goodell accepted the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge in honor of Chris Johnson, with help from @EmmittSmith22 and @ThurmanThomas.

Why it matters: The revived campaign has rallied current and former NFL figures around Johnson's ALS fight. Calling on incoming Hall of Famers could extend that support during enshrinement weekend.

What to watch: Members of the 2026 Pro Football Hall of Fame class are next in line to respond.
