Antonio Gates, Jared Allen, Eric Allen and Sterling Sharpe were voted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in the smallest induction class in 20 years.

Cornerback Eric Allen, in his 19th year of eligibility, and defensive end Jared Allen, in his fifth year of eligibility, were named to the Hall's Class of 2025 along with tight end Antonio Gates and wide receiver Sterling Sharpe. Sharpe, whose career was cut short by a congenital neck condition, was the senior finalist selected for enshrinement.

Antonio Gates is finally in. After missing the cut last year, Gates will be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, OH. The other members of the Class of 2025 are Eric Allen, Jared Allen and Sterling Sharpe (senior).
