Jets Fans' HOF Enshrinement Week Schedule Guide

Gang Green opens NFL Preseason play as Klecko and Revis enter the Halls of Canton

When Zac Brown Band shows up, you know it's a big week in town.

It's Pro Football Hall of Fame Enshrinement Week in Canton, OH and it promises to be an especially special few days for the New York Jets' organization. 

Gang Green will officially kick off the 2023 NFL Preseason against the Cleveland Browns at Tom Benson Stadium on Thursday night (8:30 pm ET on NBC), and, two days later, Jets' legends Joe Klecko and Darrelle Revis will be enshrined as "Heroes of The Game" during the annual Saturday ceremony.

The official enshrinement and busts unveiling will kick off at 12:00 pm ET on August 5 and run through 2:30 pm at Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium.

Former Jets' teammate Marty Lyons will officially present Klecko for enshrinement while Revis has chosen his mother, Diana Askew, as presenter.

There'll a Zac Brown Band concert to cap it all off on Saturday night. The Grammy winners are the headline act for the 2023 Concert for Legends Presented by Ford.

On Saturday morning, fans can take advantage of Canton’s largest free event — Repository Grand Parade, which features "huge helium balloons, marching bands, colorful floats, world-renowned dance troupes."

The stars of the show are the current class of 2023 enshrinees and their families, as well as dozens of returning Hall of Famers, who will travel the 2.2-mile parade route.
