    Info from here: https://www.stadiumtalk.com/s/nfl-teams-with-most-hall-of-famers-f87a2452c7254200?utm_campaign=nflhalloffamers-0c6527c39ed14a89&utm_medium=cpc&utm_source=fac&utm_content=409090&fbclid=IwAR1BgeMDsrOUBd5WRgnyYlmfkNAl9Q2fjOKx1XaRAaJQ4pQ-aZklCa0JGGY

    Top ones are:

    Chicago: 28
    Green Bay: 25
    Pittsburgh: 21
    Washington: 20
    NY Giants: 19
    Rams: 18

    From the article:

    Formerly the Cleveland Rams (1937-45) and St. Louis Rams (1995-2015)

    The Rams and their nomadic legacy have produced some all-time greats of the game, including Jack Youngblood, Eric Dickerson, Jackie Slater and Kevin Greene.

    And their most memorable team in franchise history, “The Greatest Show on Turf,” berthed a new era of NFL football. Kurt Warner, Marshall Faulk and Orlando Pace already are in the Hall for their efforts on those teams. Tory Holt and Isaac Bruce could join them.

    Here are all of the primary Hall of Fame contributors for the Rams.

    Bob Waterfield (1945-52)
    Dan Reeves (1941-71)
    David “Deacon” Jones (1961-71)
    Elroy Hirsch (1949-57)
    Eric Dickerson (1983-87)
    George Allen (1966-70)
    Jackie Slater (1976-95)
    Jack Youngblood (1971-84)
    Kevin Greene (1985-92)
    Kurt Warner (1998-2003)
    Les Richter (1954-62)
    Marshall Faulk (1999-2005)
    Merlin Olsen (1962-76)
    Norm Van Brocklin (1949-57)
    Ollie Matson (1959-62)
    Orlando Pace (1997-2008)
    Tom Fears (1948-56)
    Tom Mack (1966-78)

    I noticed in going through that slideshow that they listed Dickerson as one of Atlanta’s HOF players, too. Officially, players don’t go in with a team, I don’t think. They do in baseball, I believe. So that list is “unofficial,” and there can’t be an official list.

    I know a few years ago there was quite a backlog of great WRs, and I’m guessing there still is. Don’t know if/when Bruce gets in.

    Thanks for the 9ers fan view. Rams fans sometimes forget about that perspective.
