The Pro Football Hall of Fame announced today that Don Coryell has advanced as the 2023 Coach/Contributor Finalist.

Coryell is one of the most innovative minds in the history of Pro Football, having developed the Air Coryell” offense which is the prototype for today’s modern offense.  A Finalist six times before, Coryell’s creativity has never been in question, but it did not yield a Title, which is likely the reason that he has not been enshrined yet, but that day seems to be coming.  While this is not a lock for Coryell to get in, patterns indicate that this is his time.

The other Finalists who Coryell beat out were:

Roone Arledge:  Arledge was a powerful television industry executive and producer whose creativity, leadership and technical innovations revolutionized the presentation of both news and sports.  He was the brainchild behind Monday Night Football, and has never been a Finalist.

Mike Holmgren: The Head coach of the Green Bay Packers from 1992-98 and the Seattle Seahawks from 1999-2008, Holmgren was a Finalist in 2020.

Frank “Bucko” Kilroy:  Kilroy worked in player personnel and scouting for the Philadelphia Eagles, Washington Redskins and Dallas Cowboys. He was the Patriots’ general manager from 1979 to 1982 and vice president from 1983 to 1993.  An outstanding player in his own right, Kilroy has a Finalist in 2020.

Robert Kraft: Kraft is the current Owner, Chairman and CEO of the New England Patriots since 1994. His teams have won six Super Bowls.  Kraft has never been a Finalist.

Art Modell:  Modell was the Owner of the Cleveland Browns from 1961-1995 and Baltimore Ravens from 1996-2011.  He has been a Finalist twice.

Buddy Parker: Parker was the Head Coach of the Chicago Cardinals (1949), Detroit Lions (1951-56) and the Pittsburgh Steelers (1957-1964), and a Finalist in 2020.

Dan Reeves:  Reeves was the Head Coach of the Denver Broncos (1981-1992), New York Giants (1993-96) and the Atlanta Falcons (1997-2003), and was a Finalist in 2020.

Art Rooney Jr.:  Employed with the Steelers since 1961, from 1964 through 1986, worked in the Steelers’ Scouting Department, Rooney is currently a Steelers Vice President and member of the Board of Directors.  He has never been a Finalist.

Mike Shanahan:  Shanahan was the Head coach of the Los Angeles Raiders (1988-89), Denver Broncos (1995-2008) and the Washington Redskins (2010-13).  He has never been a Finalist.

Clark Shaughnessy:  The former Head coach of the Los Angeles Rams from 1948-49 and longtime assistant coach for the Washington Redskins from 1944-47 and Chicago Bears from 1951-1962.  He was a three-time Finalist.

John Wooten:  A former nine-year Guard, Wooten was one of the first African-American executives in the NFL, working for the Philadelphia Eagles and Baltimore Ravens.

We here at Notinhalloffame would like to congratulate the late Don Coryell, for making it to this stage.

Duane Brown began his pro career in 2008 with the Houston Texans where he is arguably in the top group of Offensive Linemen in franchise history.  The former First Round Pick went to three Pro Bowls in Houston, but in the search for a better contact, he sat out the first six weeks of the 2017 Season.  After one Game that year, he was traded to the Seahawks, where he proved again why he was one of the best Left Tackles in the game.

Playing only nine Games with Seattle that year, Brown went to his fourth Pro Bowl.  Although he was not one of the chosen ones in 2018, he arguably his best season as a Seahawk in 2018, with a 13 in Approximate Value with a Second Team All-Pro nod.  Brown performed well in 2019 and 2021, Pro Bowl number five fell his way in 2021.

Following the 2021 Season, Brown signed with the New York Jets, ending his Seattle career with 70 Games, all as a starter.

Selected in the fourth round of the 2016 NFL Draft from Mississippi State, Dak Prescott was initially seen by scouts as a developmental project behind veteran Tony Romo. When Romo suffered a preseason back injury and was sidelined, Prescott was thrust into the spotlight. He responded spectacularly, recording one of the most impressive debut seasons ever for a quarterback in professional football. Prescott led the Cowboys to a 13–3 record, threw 23 touchdowns with only four interceptions, and achieved a career-high 104.9 passer rating. His outstanding performance earned him the AP NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year award and a spot in the Pro Bowl.

Prescott quickly proved himself as a resilient, dual-threat quarterback, blending sharp pre-snap reads with excellent pocket mobility. In his early years, he guided Dallas to several NFC East division titles, consistently performing in the air while also adding a threatening running element near the goal line. In 2019, he demonstrated his explosive vertical passing skills by throwing for a career-high 4,902 yards and 30 touchdowns, establishing himself as a top-tier volume passer.

Despite a devastating ankle injury ending his 2020 season prematurely, Prescott made a remarkable recovery in 2021. He set a franchise single-season record with 37 touchdown passes, led Dallas to another 12-win season, and was the runner-up for the Comeback Player of the Year award. During this period, his leadership of the offense improved greatly, effectively combining daring downfield throws with careful, short-yardage plays.

His standout performance in 2023 marked a peak in his career, as Prescott led the league's highest-scoring offense. He topped the NFL in touchdown passes for the first time, throwing 36 touchdowns with only nine interceptions for 4,516 yards. This exceptional season earned him his third Pro Bowl selection and a Second-Team All-Pro honor, while he also finished as the runner-up for the AP NFL MVP award.

After a widely publicized offseason contract dispute, Dallas signed Prescott to a record-breaking extension before the 2024 season, making him the highest-paid player in league history at that point. However, his 2024 season was difficult; following an inconsistent offensive start, Prescott sustained a significant partial hamstring avulsion in Week 9, which led to season-ending surgery. He played only eight games, threw for 1,978 yards, and scored 11 touchdowns.

Returning fully healthy for the 2025 season, Prescott re-established himself as the heartbeat of the Cowboys' attack. He started all 17 games, rebounding with another productive aerial campaign, throwing for 4,552 yards and 30 touchdowns, while reaching major career milestones and earning his fourth career Pro Bowl selection. Heading into the 2026 season—his 11th year leading America's Team—Prescott sits as the Cowboys' all-time passing leaderboards’ anchor, behind only Tony Romo and Troy Aikman.

Prescott has thus far played 139 games, passing for 35,989 yards, 243 touchdowns, and 92 interceptions, with 2,115 rushing yards and 31 rushing touchdowns. A four-time Pro Bowler (2016, 2018, 2023, 2025), All-Pro, and Walter Payton Man of the Year(2022), Prescott aims in 2026 for a deep playoff run to secure his legacy among franchise legends.

Football is one of the most watched sports in the world. The Super Bowl attracts over 50 million viewers yearly, with millions of gamblers betting on Super Bowl odds. These fans want to watch the best players, see the most remarkable plays, and cheer their teams to win trophies.

However, the fans are not the only ones that love winning; the players do too. As a professional athlete, especially in a competitive sport like football, you'll be remembered for the trophies and matches you win with your team.

The best way to be remembered as a football player is by getting inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. It's the pinnacle of any footballer's career. After years of working hard on the pitch, the thought of having your name immortalized in gold at the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Carson, Ohio, is absolutely wonderful.

For several decades, different NFL teams have played home to some iconic Hall of Famers, some more than others. This article will look at the NFL teams with the most Hall of Famers.

NFL Teams With the Most Hall of Famers

No athlete expects to play forever; some wish they could, but it's physically impossible. However, they hope to play at the highest level for as long as possible, and when they do retire, they hope to have created memories that fans will remember for years.

Even football players share this mentality, and what better way to remember a football player than being inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Carson? Over the course of the NFL's history, some teams have built a reputation for being home to Hall of Famers. Here are some of the teams with the most.

1. Chicago Bears

Being one of the longest-running franchises in the NFL has its perks, including being the team with the most Hall of Famers. The nine-time NFL Championship winners have produced some of the greatest football legends. One of which is the great George Halas. He was the team's coach and owner for four solid decades.

The Chicago-born legend held the record for most regular-season wins and total victories in NFL's history for several years until they were broken in 1993 by Don Shula. He also won six NFL titles with the Bears and is a proud Hall of Famer.

At the time of writing, the Chicago Bears have the most inductees in Carson, with the current number at 34. Other legendary names include Brian Urlacher, Doug Atkins, and George Connor.

2. Green Bay Packers

With 33 Hall of Famers coming from their team, Green Bay Packers ranks second on our list today. The century-old franchise won the first two Super Bowl editions and is currently the team with the most NFL Championships wins.

Vince Lombardi is a name NFL fans can forget. His tenure as Packers coach was short-lived but filled with lots of success. In his nine years at the helm, he won an impressive five NFL Championships and the first and second editions of the Super Bowl. He has been credited with having laid the foundation for the team's current success.

3. New York Giants

Do not be deceived by the current and somewhat shaky form of the New York Giants; the franchise has one of the league's richest histories and has been home to some iconic figures. In fact, it has been home to 32 Hall of Famers. Some of the best names are:

• Kurt Warner
• Alphonse 'Tuffy' Leemans 
• Jim Thorpe
• Frank Tarkenton 
• Roosevelt Brown
• Lawrence Taylor
• Michael Strahan.

4. Pittsburgh Steelers

For a franchise to hold the record for most Super Bowl titles, it's not uncommon that they have had some legendary players on their rosters. The Steelers currently have 30 names in the Pro Football Hall of Fame, with the latest inductees being Alan Faneca and Troy Polamalu.

Some other iconic Steelers in the Hall of Fame are Jerome Bettis, Donnie Shell, Chuck Noll, Art Rooney, Mike Webster, Bobby Layne, and Terry Bradshaw.

The Bottom Line

The dream of every NFL player after retirement is to be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio. In Canton, their name will be immortalized, and their stories will be remembered for ages.

Fans also love to brag about their teams and the Hall of Famers that have played for them. Chicago Bears fans have all the bragging rights with 34 Hall of Famers. Green Bay Packers is second with 33 names, while the New York Giants and Pittsburgh Steelers fill up the third and fourth with 32 and 30 inductees, respectively.
