Three former Raiders — coach Tom Flores, quarterback Jim Plunkett and linebacker Ted Hendricks — have been selected to the first-ever Hispanic Football Hall of Fame class, announced Tuesday. They will be enshrined May 5 at a ceremony hosted by the Raiders at the team’s Henderson facility as part of the Celebración de Fútbol.

The trio won two Super Bowls together over a five-year span. Flores, already a Pro Football Hall of Famer (inducted 2021), also won rings with the Chiefs as a backup quarterback and as an assistant to John Madden. “It means a lot,” Flores told Raiders.com. “It shows what we can do. It sets a principle that no one should hold off on hiring one of us. Because the business we’re in is all about winning.”

Hendricks entered the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1990, three years after his College Football Hall of Fame induction. He is the first Guatemalan-born player in NFL history. Plunkett, a Heisman Trophy winner at Stanford and the No. 1 overall pick in the 1970 draft by the Patriots, is in the College Football Hall of Fame but remains one of only two two-time Super Bowl-winning quarterbacks not elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame, along with Eli Manning.

The inaugural class also includes Anthony Muñoz, Ron Rivera, Steve Van Buren and Tom Fears. “The Hispanic Football Hall of Fame was created to recognize and celebrate the profound impact Hispanic athletes and leaders have had on the game of football,” said Selection Committee Chairperson Sandy Nunez. “This inaugural class reflects excellence, lasting legacy, and a future where the next generation can see themselves at the highest levels of the sport.”

Additional honorees this year include pro player of the year Nik Bonitto, college player of the year Fernando Mendoza, and high school player of the year Ryan Estrada.
