The 2026 class was announced on Thursday during the NFL Honors ceremony. The good news for Colts fans is that kicker Adam Vinatieri got in. However, Wayne did not.
The other four members of this year's class are quarterback Drew Brees, running back Roger Craig, wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald, and linebacker Luke Kuechly.
Wayne was one of 15 modern-era finalists for the 2026 Hall of Fame class. This was the seventh time that he has been one of the finalists.
According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, in order to be selected, a 50-person selection committee could pick up to five players from that group of 15 finalists to be a part of this year's class.
Then, collectively, among the votes received from the 50 voters, a player has to earn a minimum positive vote of 80% in order to make the Hall of Fame.
Wayne, who is currently the Colts wide receivers coach, would also spend his entire career in Indianapolis, where he was a six-time Pro Bowler, a one-time All-Pro, and was a member of the Colts' Super Bowl Championship team in 2006.
Wayne totaled 14,345 receiving yards in his career with 82 touchdown receptions over 211 games.
In eight of his 14 seasons, Wayne eclipsed the 1,000-yard receiving mark, and on four occasions, he surpassed 1,300 yards, including a career year in 2007 when he led the NFL in receiving yards with 1,510.
