The Pro Football Hall of Fame Enshrinement Week is just around the corner, which means a new group of former players will soon become eligible for induction.

Several former Las Vegas Raiders retired after the 2018 season, making them eligible to join the Class of 2024.

Below, we look at which former Raiders will be eligible for the first time. Remember this is strictly about eligibility, not if they are qualified to be granted the honor.

Derrick Johnson, Linebacker

Johnson played the final season of his NFL career with the Raiders after spending 13 years with the Kansas City Chiefs.

The linebacker would finish his career as a four-time Pro Bowl honoree with a selection to one All-Pro First Team and one Second Team.

Doug Martin, Running Back

Martin also spent the last season of his career with the Raiders, having played the other six with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

He was named to one All-Pro First Team and two Pro Bowls.

Sebastian Janikowski, Kicker

While Janikowski is a Raiders legend and was one of his era's best kickers, only four have ever been inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

The one-time Pro Bowler and second-team All-Pro selection is the franchise's all-time leader in field goals (414).

Janikowski played 17 of his 18 NFL seasons with the Silver and Black.

Reggie Nelson, Defensive Back

Nelson played the final three seasons with the Raiders, with whom he earned one of his two Pro Bowls.

Nelson was also named to one All-Pro Second Team.

Jordy Nelson, Wide Receiver

Nelson was another longtime player who spent his final season as a Raider.

Before that, he played 10 years for the Green Bay Packers, where he was a member of the Super Bowl XLV title team.

Nelson was named to one Pro Bowl in his career, one All-Pro Second Team, and the Comeback Player of the Year for the 2016 season.

Other former Raiders eligible:

Leon Hall, Defensive Back

Marquette King, Punter
