Robert Kraft will be left waiting for his bust in Canton.
On Thursday, the New England Patriots owner was reportedly denied a spot in the 2025 Pro Football Hall of Fame class by the organization's contributor committee. The nine-member committee instead picked NFL co-founder Ralph Hay for the honor. Hay was the owner of the Canton Bulldogs from 1918 through 1922. He will be considered along with one coaching candidate, and three candidates from an earlier NFL era. Those names have not yet been revealed.
