From this year's list, nine nominees - Aikman, Carson, Greenwood, Grimm, Irvin, Kuechenberg, Madden, Derrick Thomas, and Wright - spent their entire NFL career with just one team.
Madden and Wright were selected as senior candidates by the Hall of Fame's Seniors Committee at their August 2005 meeting. The Seniors Committee reviews the qualifications of those players, coaches, and contributors whose careers took place more than 25 years ago. The remaining 13 modern-era finalists were determined by a vote of the Hall's 39-member Board of Selectors from a list of 112 preliminary nominees that earlier was reduced to a list of 25 semi-finalists. To be eligible for election, modern-era players must be retired for at least five seasons while a coach needs only to be retired.
At the 2006 election meeting, the selectors will thoroughly discuss the careers of each finalist before narrowing the field to six candidates. At least three candidates must be elected but the total class cannot number more than six.
Of the 2006 finalists, Madden has been eligible for 27 years, Wright 22 years, Greenwood and Humphrey 20 years, Kuechenberg 17 years, Carson 13 years, Grimm 10 years, Monk six years, Zimmerman four years, Irvin and Derrick Thomas two years, and for Aikman, Moon, Thurman Thomas, and White, 2006 is their first year of eligibility.
The Class of 2006 will be announced at a press conference at 2 p.m. (ET) on Saturday, February 4, at the Super Bowl media center in the Marriott Renaissance Center.
Representatives of the accounting firm Deloitte & Touche will tabulate all votes during the meeting. At the press conference, they will present Hall of Fame Interim Executive Director Ron Dougherty with an envelope containing the names of the nominees elected. The Hall will contact each new member immediately after the announcement. Members of the Class of 2006 in Detroit for the Super Bowl will be asked to join the press conference. Those not able to attend will be asked to join via teleconference.
Enshrinement of the Class of 2006 will take place at the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio on the weekend of August 5-6.
