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?

The Browns got close with Paul Brown, Otto Graham, Marion Motley, but no 2nd HOF RB. Motley's and Jim Brown's careers are separated by 3 years.

As well as the 49ers with Joe Perry, Hugh McElhenny, Y.A. Tittle ("Million Dollar Backfield") but no HOF coach.

Cowboys are a little closer as Dorsett and Emmitt are just 2 years apart. Jimmy-Troy-Emmitt-Dorsett


It's definitely the duel RB part that makes this rare.

If I had mentioned the Cowboys, bjj would have gotten mad about Eagles fans talking about the Cowboys.

That second HOF RB is tough. Dolphins: Shula, Griese, Csonka. Steelers: Noll, Bradshaw, Harris. Cowboys: Landry, Staubach, Dorsett.

The 49er’s had

Bill Walsh
Joe Montana/Steve Young
Roger Craig/Tom Rathman

Both Craig/Rathman are not in the HOF but it’s a crime that they’re not. Both were major players on those 80’s championships. Both are in the 49er’s HOF.
