Legendary filmmaker Steve Sabol has been elected to the NFL Hall of Fame's call of 2020, according to a tweet sent out by the Pro Football Hall of Fame's official twitter account.

Sabol was the president and one of the founders of NFL Films, along with his father Ed. During the 1960s and 70's he served mainly as a cameraman, writer, and editor. Shortly after ESPN was founded, they signed NFL Films, which allowed Sabol to become an on-air personality.

He was featured on 60 minutes and won 35 Emmy awards. He passed away in 2012 and there could be an argument made this probably should have been given to him before he passed away.

Former Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Harold Carmichael also found out he would be a member of the class. Carmichael said he felt number when hearing he was elected.

“I am numb right now,” Carmichael said on NFL Network after getting the phone call telling him he made the Hall via ESPN. “I had a flashback from 60-some years ago, thinking about the guys that helped me get here.

“This is the ultimate honor you get in the National Football League.”

This is the Hall of Fame's centennial class. It's a special class that includes two coaches, three contributors, and 10 senior players. The NFL Hall of Fame class of 2020 that is comprised of modern-era players will be selected the day before the Super Bowl. All players elected will be enshrined in Canton, Ohio the first weekend of August.

The ceremony will include the special class and the modern day class.
