NFL Teams With the Most Hall of Famers

The NFL is filled with storied franchises, long-suffering teams, new kids on the block and middling squads. Whether a club has won many Super Bowls or none, chances are some Hall of Fame talent has graced the roster.

But which NFL teams have the most Hall of Famers? The results are surprising, and not always aligned with team success. These players — along with a few notable coaches, executives and owners — defined generations and, in many cases, led their franchises to new heights.

Here’s how many Hall of Famers every NFL team has.

The Houston Texans are a franchise without a Hall of Fame player, but that could change with wide receiver Andre Johnson, who became eligible for enshrinement in 2021.

Johnson played 12 of his 14 NFL seasons in Houston, catching 1,012 passes for 13,597 yards. It still wasn’t enough to win a playoff game in Houston.

The big wide receiver then moved on to Indianapolis and Tennessee and finished his career with 1,062 catches and 14,185 receiving yards.

Note: All data is from the Pro Football Hall of Fame. The number of Hall of Famers listed per franchise is based on where players spent the majority of their careers and made their primary contributions. The years listed are the seasons they were with the team. Some players with significant contributions to multiple teams are counted twice.

Johnson might not be the lone Texan getting a yellow jacket. J.J. Watt played the first decade of his career with Houston and racked up 101 sacks in his first 128 games over 10 NFL seasons.

Watt also won three defensive player of the year awards and was a five-time Pro Bowler in Houst. The most impressive part, he did all that while playing only seven full seasons because of injuries.

“Success isn’t owned. It’s leased. And rent is due every day. Every single day, someone’s coming for your job.” —J.J. Watt
