What to know about Pro Football Hall of Fame enshrinement ceremony

The Pro Football Hall of Fame will immortalize another class in Canton, Ohio, on Saturday.
Seven players will join those already enshrined at the iconic museum in northeastern Ohio to bring the total number of Hall of Famers to 378. As part of the festivities, the enshrinees will make induction speeches, be presented with the busts that will enter the Hall of Fame museum and be wearing their golden jackets, which will have been presented at the Gold Jacket Dinner the night before.
Members are chosen by the Hall of Fame Selection Committee, which consists of a media member from each city with an NFL team (including two in New York and Los Angeles to match their two teams), as well as 17 at-large delegates and one representative from the Pro Football Writers of America. The Hall of Fame Selection Committee meets annually shortly before the Super Bowl to elect new members, who are announced during the NFL Honors ceremony.
