NFL Network will have coverage each day, beginning an hour before the events begin. Fans can also tune in through the NFL app or on ESPN.
Along with Johnson and Woodson, Peyton Manning and John Lynch headline the eight 2021 selectees. Troy Polamalu and Hutchinson are part of the five 2020 modern-era members (a 15-person "Centennial Slate," including Karras, is also part of the 2020 ceremony).
All of the stars will have eight minutes to speak before an orchestra plays them off.
"If it just ends up being rambling, it might be a YouTube moment of me going out there and grabbing somebody and pulling them from the podium," David Baker, president and CEO of the hall, told NFL.com.
