Which Hall Of Fame Players Played For The Most Teams?

When you take a expression at football game participants who have got made it into the Pro Football Hall-of-Fame, usually you happen a participant who have spent the huge bulk of his calling with one team. This is mainly because when a squad acquires a participant with exceeding ability like that; they usually make all they can to throw onto him. Sometimes, because of diminishing accomplishments or paysheet reasons, a participant will play his last couple old age with another squad before retiring. That beingness said it is rare that a Hall-of-Fame quality participant plays with more than than two or three squads during their full career.

So, that implores the question: What is the most squads that a member of the Pro Football Hall-of-Fame have got played for.

The easy reply is: Six.

Three member of the Pro Football Hall-of-Fame have played for six different squads in their career. The dorsum narrative on these three participants is that they all played the bulk of their callings in the NFL's startup years (1920's) when squads would travel out of business, alteration name calling or metropolises frequently, and just overall not have got the stableness of the modern NFL, making it more than likely that a participant would play for multiple teams. Those participants are:

Jim Jim Thorpe - 1915-1928

Canton Bulldogs

Cleveland Indians (NFL)

Oorang Indians

Rock Island Independents

New House Of House Of York Giants

Chicago Cardinals

Joe Grunyon – 1919-1927

Canton Bulldogs

Clevenland Indians (NFL)

Oorang Indians

Rock Island Independents

Kansas City Cowboys

New York Giants

Fritz Pollard – 1919-1928

Akron Pros/Indians

Milwaukee Badgers

Hammond Pros

Gilberton Cadamounts

Providence Steam Roller

Chicago Black Hawks

If we look at the more than modern epoch of professional football, the most squads any Hall-of-Fame member have got played for is five, and three different participants have accomplished this feat.

Warren Moon 1983-2000

While Moon is in the Hall-of-Fame and have played for five different teams, some may number it differently as lone four of the squads were in the NFL.

Edmonton Eskimos (CFL)

Houston Oilers

Minnesota Vikings

Seattle Seahawks

Kansas City Chiefs

Tommy MacDonald 1957-1968

Philadelphia Eagles

Dallas Cowboys

Los Angeles Rams

Atlanta Falcons

Cleveland Browns

James Lofton 1978-1993

Green Bay Packers

Los Angeles Raiders

Buffalo Bills

Los Angeles Rams

Philadelphia Eagles

Most often, when we believe of Hall-of-Fame participants we believe of participants like Barry Sanders, Dame Ellen Terry Bradshaw, Baronet Starr, or Toilet Elway who played their full calling with one team. Sometimes we believe of participants like Joe Montana, O.J. Simpson, Tony Dorsett, or Emmitt Ian Smith who played the bulk of their calling with one squad and then finished it with another. Not too often make we retrieve the participants who played for four or five different squads as Hall-of-Famers.
