The Pro Football Hall of Fame class of 2024 has officially been announced.
And it included one of the greatest pass rushers in Indianapolis Colts history, Dwight Freeney.
The Colts drafted Dwight Freeney with the 11th pick in the 1st round of the 2002 NFL Draft. Freeney appeared in 218 games throughout his NFL career, 163 of which were with the Colts. He has the 2nd most sacks of any Colts player with 107.5, only trailing Robert Mathis, and has 125.5 total in his career, the 26th most in NFL history, which would be enough to pass Mathis if all of Freeney's sacks would have come with the Colts. During his career, he was named to seven pro bowls and was a three-time first-team All-Pro in 2003, 2004, and 2005. He also won one Super Bowl with the Colts in 2007.
Freeney is famously remembered for his deadly spin move, which he used to get the best of many offensive linemen in his day and terrorize QBs. Now, Freeney and his spin move will be immortalized in Canton, Ohio, in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
