A total of 222 players have made the Pro Football Hall of Fame. In addition, there are 21 coaches who have been elected to the hall, bringing the number of members up to 253. In addition, the Hall of Fame recognizes people who haven't coached or played in the league, but were crucial for the past and ongoing success of Professional Foolball, such as League presidents, Club Owners, League Commissioners, etc. Eighteen (18) such individuals have been elected to Pro Football Hall of Fame.
The voting procedure is pretty complicated. Pretty much anyone can be nominated by anyone (even fans) by sending a letter or e-mail to the Hall.
Then, for each year, the Selection Committee is polled three times by mail to eventually narrow the list to 25 semifinalists: once in March, one in September, and one in October.
In November, the committee then selects 15 finalists by mail balloting.
Nine members of the Selection Committee also serve as a subcommittee known as the Seniors Committee to screen candidates who finished their careers 25 or more years prior. The Seniors Committee then adds two finalists from prior to the modern era, making a final ballot of 17.
The Selection Committee then meets the day before each Super Bowl game to elect a new class. To be elected, a finalist must receive at least 80 percent support from the Board, with at least four, but no more than seven, candidates being elected annually. If less than four candidates get 80 percent of the vote, then the top four vote-getters will get in that year. If more than seven get 80 percent, then only the top seven vote-getters will be inducted.
Each year since 2006 they have elected six new members, but in 2004 and 2005 they only inducted the minimum four.
