Definitely played with a plot, thank you Derrick.

Notice the date the class was announced, January 31, or 1/31, a number connected to Super Bowl.

Derrick Thomas died 39-days after Super Bowl 34, on the 39th day of the year.  Notice the sum of the Hall of Fame induction game, 39 points, on 8/9 (DT was drafted in '89).

Also notice that August 9 is the day that leaves 144-days remaining, corresponding with the gematria of 'Derrick Thomas'.
