Question
Tim Brown goes into the Hall of Fame on Saturday. He becomes the 10th member to go in who wore the No. 81 jersey. What’s the only number that was worn by even more Hall of Famers. Most famously, two members of the same NFL team are in the Hall of Fame who both wore this same number.
Answer
No. 22, with 11 players. That includes Bob Hayes and Emmitt Smith (both of Dallas). Others who wore 22 at some point include George Blanda, Frank Gatski, Mike Haynes, Paul Krause, Bobby Layne, James Lofton, Mike Michaelske, Ernie Nevers and Roger Wehrli. Nevers and Wehrli both played for the Cardinals.
