The Pro Football Hall of Fame is considering expanding its Centennial Class for 2020.

The NFL is preparing for it's 100th-anniversary celebration.

Hall of Fame president and CEO David Baker told SiriusXM NFL Radio Monday that the board would consider 20 enshrinees as opposed to the normal eight per year.

"It is extremely elite company, and it's not the Hall of very, very good. It's the Hall of Fame, and so it should be difficult to make it," Baker said. "But there's a lot of guys through the years (who deserve to be honored but have not). We have several guys who are on all-decade teams who aren't in the Hall of Fame. And, so, this is an opportunity with the Centennial coming up. And what we've looked at potentially and has been approved, at least in concept, by our operating board, but we're going to have to go through the full board, is that potentially we would have 20 Hall of Famers enshrined for the year 2020.

"Normally, (like) this year, we have eight. So, this would be quite a few guys (added). But it would be the five normal modern-era players elected from 15 finalists, and then 10 seniors, three contributors -- like Gil (Brandt) -- and two (coaches). But again, I want to stress that that's got to be something that's passed by our board on at its meeting on Friday, Aug. 2."
