- Joe Klecko, defensive lineman
- Darrelle Revis, cornerback
- Ken Riley, cornerback
- Joe Thomas, offensive tackle
- Zach Thomas, linebacker

Revis and Thomas are the two first-ballot Hall of Famers in this class. Comparatively, Howley waited the longest out of anyone in the 2023 class, as this was his 45th year of eligibility.
