Robert Kraft’s Hall of Fame wait will reportedly last another year. The Patriots’ longtime owner will not make the final cut as a contributor for the Pro Football Hall of Fame’s 2025 class, according to ESPN. Kraft, 83, was a semifinalist.
Kraft is still without a bronze bust and gold jacket despite his peerless 30-year run as the Patriots’ owner. During his ownership, the Patriots have won six Super Bowls (the most ever for an owner) and 10 conference titles (also the most ever for an owner). Kraft’s legacy also includes keeping the Patriots in New England, ending the 2011 NFL lockout and his role in brokering lucrative broadcast deals for the league.
However, there is apparently one big reason why Hall of Fame voters continue to leave Kraft out in the cold despite his accomplishments.
