The '''Ralph Hay Pioneer Award''' is an [[American football]] award given by the [[Pro Football Hall of Fame]] periodically to an individual who has made significant and innovative contributions to professional football. The award is named after [[Canton Bulldogs]] owner, and [[National Football League]] founder and chief organizer, [[Ralph Hay]]. It was originally called the '''Daniel F. Reeves Pioneer Award''' named after [[Los Angeles Rams]] owner and hall of fame inductee, [[Dan Reeves (American football executive)|Dan Reeves]]. The award is the highest and the most prestigious honor given by the Pro Football Hall of Fame other than enshrinement.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Football Learning Academy|url=https://www.football-learning-academy.com/pages/blog|access-date=2022-01-30|website=Football Learning Academy|language=en}}</ref> As of 2022, only [[Steve Sabol]] has been the only person to be given the Ralph Hay Pioneer Award and become a hall of fame inductee. |
