New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft was named as a semifinalist for the Pro Football Hall of Fame Class of 2025 on Wednesday. Kraft was among nine other names who made it to the semifinal round.
K.S. “Bud” Adams, Ralph Hay, Frank Kilroy, Art Modell, Art Rooney Jr., Seymour Siwoff, Doug Williams and John Wooten were the others selected.
Kraft has long sought entry into the Hall of Fame. It was reported in September that he took issue with Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones making it into the Hall of Fame, while he remained on the outs.
Now, Kraft has a chance to earn his place in history. The Patriots’ owner was previously named a Hall of Fame semifinalist last summer, but he ultimately did not get in.
This could be the chance for Kraft to finally break through into the Hall of Fame. The Patriots have enjoyed a unique run of success ever since he took ownership in 1994. He managed to help shape the landscape for a team that went on to forge the greatest dynasty in NFL history.
