During the NFL Honors Awards ceremony on Thursday night, the 2024 class was revealed. Freeney was eligible for his second year of school.
With his signature spin move, Dwight developed into one of the most feared pass rushers in the league, according to Jim Irsay, owner and CEO of the Colts. As one of the all-time greats in professional football, he gave Colts fans a lot of exciting moments, and he really deserves this award.

He recorded 341 tackles, 125.5 sacks, 16 passes defensed, 47 forced fumbles, and four fumble recoveries in his 16-year career. He was selected to the Pro Bowl seven times.
Freeney is ranked eighth in forced fumbles since 1994 and 18th in sacks in NFL history overall. When it comes to career postseason sacks, he is tied for sixth in league history. Regarding career sacks, he is ranked second in Colts history.
The 2015 Colts player Andre Johnson was also inducted into the Hall of Fame.
