The New England Patriots will be nominating people to the teams' Hall of Fame on Thursday, April 3rd, and one very deserving name was leaked to have already made the cut. Patriots owner Robert Kraft called legendary coach Bill Parcells with an offer to etch his name in Patriots history once again and join the franchise's Hall of Fame.

New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft announced Tuesday from the NFL's Annual League Meeting that former head coach Bill Parcells accepted his induction into the club's Hall of Fame.

An NFL team’s Hall of Fame is an honor reserved for the few. Only those who’ve left a lasting mark on the franchise are recognized and immortalized by the organization. While some names are obvious choices — like Tom Brady being inducted into the New England Patriots Hall of Fame in 2024 — others can come as a surprise.
