Any other NFL team had a future HOF coach, future HOF QB, and two future HOF RBs like the Packers had at the same time?

It's a joke he won the Heisman in 1956 for leading N.D. to a 2-8 record.
That should have been Jim Brown’s Heisman while he was at Syracuse but at that time they had never had a black player win. The following year or maybe two year later Ernie Davis, also of Syracuse won making him the first black Heisman. Disney did a movie about it and I can’t recall the title of the movie.

I think the name of the movie was the express.

I think there’s a chance with some borderline Hall of Fame guys but this isn’t likely.

At one time the Eagles had Andy Reid, Donovan McNabb, Brian Westbrook, and Shady McCoy on the same team.

Only Reid is a shoe in for the Hall and the other 3 guys are fringe shots at making it. If Reid could have sealed the deal in Philly with a Super Bowl or two I think all 4 get in but with no rings for the players in that group it’s unlikely.
McFat has a 0.00% chance of making it.

I read the newspaper account of when Notre Dame played Pitt in 1956 and the Pittsburgh writers wrote about Hornung is absolute glowing terms which you don't often see for a visiting team's player. He played quarterback, ran the football, punted, placekicked, and made a bunch of tackles on defense as well.
