New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft has been selected as a finalist for the Pro Football Hall of Fame's upcoming class, the league announced on Wednesday.
The announcement comes as the Patriots prepare for their Week 3 matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers at Gillette Stadium on September 20, 2026. Quarterback Drake Maye was photographed speaking with Kraft before the game.
Kraft, who has owned the franchise since 1994, has overseen six Super Bowl victories during his tenure. The Hall of Fame's selection committee will vote on the final inductees in the coming months.
