Nearly eight months after Bill Belichick was shockingly not elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame on first ballot, the Hall has changed its voting procedures to ensure such a snub does not happen again.
The Hall of Fame did induct an incredible class featuring star players such as Drew Brees, Larry Fitzgerald, Luke Kuechly, Adam Vinatieri and Roger Craig. But Belichick, a six-time Super Bowl champion and arguably the greatest coach in NFL history, not making it in on first ballot put a stain on the Hall’s voting process, and led to outcry for the system to be overhauled.
