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?

Was there any other NFL team that had a future HOF head coach, future HOF QB, and two future HOF RBs playing together at the same time like the Green Bay Packers had in Lombardi, Starr, Taylor and Hornung? Packers.jpg

Not sure who they had at same time (or who made HOF) but maybe the Browns with Paul Brown, Frank Ryan, Jim Brown, Ernie Davis, Leroy Kelly?

Maybe one arrived when other was on his way out? But agree unlikely.
Yeah, it would probably be just for one season because outside of that the RBs would lose too many touches to actually make the HOF. It would be a lot like the STL Rams WRs Bruce and Holt where neither would actually make the HOF.

Yeah only situation that comes to mind like that at RB is the one I mentioned for the Browns with Jim Brown leaving and I believe Leroy Kelly being there to replace (little before my time)....and not even sure Kelly made HOF.

Plus One.

besides, Horning was the golden boy from the golden dome, and a questionable NFL HOF'er.

Yep.. just about to post something similar about Hornung. He had > 800 yards from scrimmage exactly once. Lombardi loved him and he was versatile.. but HOF was a stretch.

When Holt gets in..

That Ram team would have the HC, QB, RB, LT and two WRs in the Hall of Fame.

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.

Some NFL trivia.

Can anyone name the only offensive lineman to block for three HOF rb's?

the Bills had Levy, Kelly, Thomas, Reed, and Smith for quite a few years together.

It's a shame they didn't get one. Those Bills team were fun to watch back in the day.

Can't think of the name, but believe he blocked for Orange Jumpsuit, Czonka and I forget the 3rd....
