The Cleveland Browns have a first-ballot Hall of Famer in left tackle Joe Thomas. After retiring after the 2017 season, Thomas did not have to wait long to get fitted for his gold jacket. Every year, the Pro Football Hall of Fame then releases heartwarming videos of each of the inductees getting the knock on their door. For Thomas, it was long-time Seattle Seahawks left tackle and class of 2014 Hall of Famer Walter Jones who met Thomas with his news.
You can also hear one of Thomas’ children yelling, “I love you guys for picking my dad!” in the background of the video. What a moment that Thomas and his family will never forget.
Tonight, you found out the members of the Hall of Fame's Class of 2023.
On Saturday, you can see how "they" found out they were selected.
