The 11 NFL Teams With The Most Pro Football Hall Of Famers

As of the start of 2025, a grand total of 378 people have been enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. The vast majority of the people immortalized in Canton played for an NFL team at some point, but when you account for the “contributors” who earned a spot due to their prowess at other positions, there are some franchises that stand out from the rest of the pack when it comes to producing the most legends.

There’s no greater honor an NFL player can receive than being inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame, as a very small percentage of the tens of thousands of people who’ve spent time in the league will end up earning a spot in Canton when everything is said and done.

Most Hall of Famers played for more than one team over the course of their career (unlike the Baseball Hall of Fame, people who are inducted aren’t linked with a specific franchise), but based on the numbers the institution has tallied, these franchises can brag about having more than any other.

It’s also worth noting some of these totals are slightly inflated by owners and coaches who never played a snap, but they’re still included in the overall count due to their influence.

Chicago Bears: 39

The Bears increased their lead over the rest of the NFL when Devin Hester and Steve McMichael punched their ticket to the Hall of Fame in 2024 to join the dozens of Chicago icons who’ve previously received the honor, including Walter Payton, Mike Ditka, and Dick Butkus.

Green Bay Packers: 34

The list of Packers greats includes a couple of hallowed coaches in the form of Vince Lombardi and Earl “Curly” Lambeau (the latter of whom founded the team and initially played halfback while serving as its GM and skipper).

However, Green Bay also produced plenty of formidable standalone players, including three standout QBs in the form of Arnie Herber, Bart Starr, and Brett Favre. It also earned the right to claim its latest Hall of Famer when Julius Peppers (who spent the bulk of his career with the Panthers) got the nod in 2024.

Los Angeles Rams: 33

The Rams initially set up shop in Cleveland before joining the NFL in 1937 and have a stint in St. Louis sandwiched between their two separate Los Angeles Eras. However, if you combine all of the players who belonged to that franchise during that span, they take the bronze medal on the Hall of Fame front.

Marshall Faulk, Kurt Warner, Orlando, Pace, and Isaac Bruce are among the most recognizable list of relatively current inductees, but they’re just a handful of the many guys who made a mark with the team.

Dallas Cowboys: 32

There are four NFL teams that currently boast exactly 32 Hall of Famers, and we’re going to kick things off with the Cowboys.

Dallas got a late start compared to the first three teams on this list when you consider the franchise was founded in 1960, but they quickly made up for lost time with the help of players like Michael Irvin, Roger Staubach, Troy Aikman, and Emmitt Smith along with non-players including Tom Landry and Jerry Jones.

New York Giants: 32

Eli Manning has the chance to become the latest member of the Giants to punch his ticket to the Hall of Fame after being listed as a finalist ahead of the inductionof the 2025 Class, and he’ll join the likes of Lawrence Taylor, Fran Tarkenton, and Michael Strahan if he ends up making the cut.

Pittsburgh Steelers: 32

The Steelers emerged as one of the best franchises in the NFL in the 1970s en route to winning four Super Bowls over the course of the decade, and those teams boasted a lengthy list of Hall of Famers like Terry Bradshaw, Franco Harris, Jack Lambert, Lynn Swan, Mel Blount, and “Mean” Joe Greene.

Pittsburgh hasn’t been able to maintain that pace, but they have added a few more in recent years thanks to more contemporary standouts like Troy Polamalu and Jerome Bettis.

Washington Commanders: 32

As you can probably surmise, none of the guys Washington sent to the Hall of Fame were playing for the team when they were known as the Commanders, but the list of people associated with the franchise when it had that other nickname includes Art Monk, Darrell Green, and Joe Gibbs.

Las Vegas Raiders: 30

The Raiders are the eighth team on this list to have at least 30 people in the Hall of Fame, as they joined the club when Cliff Branch and Richard Seymour were inducted in 2022.

Seymour is one of a number of players the Raiders can claim who are best known for what they achieved with other teams (the same can be said for Randy Moss, Jerry Rice, and Warren Sapp), but they also have plenty of homegrown talent with guys like Tim Brown, Howie Long, and Jim Otto.

San Francisco 49ers: 30

The 49ers became the ninth (and most recent) member of the 30 Hall of Famers Club when Patrick Willis got the nod in 2024.

There’s a fair amount of overlap with the Raiders when you consider Moss, Rice, and Roy Woodson played for both teams at some point (I think most people associate Jerry with San Francisco), and the 49ers launched the career of other big names like Joe Montana, Terrell Owens, and Ronnie Lott.

Chiefs: 25

There’s zero doubt the Chiefs are going to see this number rise after guys like Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce, and Andy Reid call it quits, and they’ll inevitably be joining the ranks that currently include Kansas City standouts like Tony Gonzales, Len Dawson, and Derrick Thomas.

Eagles: 24

The Eagles would like you to believe they have 25 members in the Hall of Fame, but the institution doesn’t recognize its claim to Walt Kiesling, who has a tenuous connection as the co-head coach of the team dubbed the “Steagles” when Philadelphia and Pittsburgh combined forces during a temporary merger in 1943 stemming from WWII (he’d coached the Steelers prior to that point).

With that said, they still have two dozen slightly more legitimate Hall of Famers, including Reggie White, Brian Dawkins, and Harold Carmichael.
