California - 32 Marcus Allen, Lincoln (San Diego) John Elway, Granada Hills Tom Fears, Manual Arts (Los Angeles) The HOF should try and narrow this issue down, so there won't be this huge debate. We should'nt go by birthplace, because like you stated Troy Aikman was born in California, but his family moved to Oklahoma when he was in the 8th grade. It is for this reason that I chose to put my list in order of per capita score rather than the number of inductees, though the number of Hall of Famers and state rank in regards of sheer number is provided.In the below table you will see a per capita score. This score is based on the number of Hall of Famers from each state divided by the estimated population for each state in 2015. With all the recent inductions, the state of Florida is coming on strong and doesn’t appear to be slowing down any time soon.At over 39 million residents, California is by far the most populous state, and pound for pound it just doesn’t stack up. Maxpreps also went with high school alums, and Ive seen other outlets go with birthplace. 316 Pins • 11 Followers Follow. The wide variety of positions that make up their Hall of Fame list reinforces this sentiment.Over the history of football Arkansas has consistently produced great players despite its small population.Nebraska, a great football state with fewer then 3 million residents, ranks 8th on our list in per capita Hall of Famers despite the brevity of their list.A state rich in football tradition, Alabama comes in at number 9.Wrapping up our top 10, apparently Oklahoma can do more than just recruit athletes from Texas.Virginia has produced some of the all-time greats on defensive.Cows, cheese, and football, Wisconsin comes in at 12.A state this uninhabited, just imagine how high they’d rank if they had 2 inductees.Texas takes the crown for producing the most Hall of Fame athletes, but falls well short of that distinction on a per capita basis.Illinois ranks in the top 5 for number of inductees, but 1st in all categories for people named George.Missouri holds the 16th position on our illustrious list.The only thing keeping Montana from not making this list is the 1963 induction of Ernie Nevers.New Mexico comes in at 18th with a receiver and defensive back.Georgia has produced arguably the best 2 fullbacks in NFL history with Marion Motley and Jim Brown.Chances are if you’ve heard of any of these players you’re either very old or from Connecticut.Reggie White, the Minister of Defense, is perhaps the best defensive end ever.A guard, a center, and a tight end, Minnesota gets a few more inductees and it will represent a darn good offensive line.7 inductees, not bad for a state known for basketball.There is one 1st ballot Hall of Famer on this list. This hub is a great example of the right way to do things. NFL analyst and former player Deion Sanders has reportedly opted to leave the NFL Network.Football analyst and Hall-of-Fame defensive back Deion Sanders won’t be returning to his role on the NFL Network, according to multiple reports.Sanders had been a mainstay on the NFL Network since retiring, and he was one of the longest-tenured analysts.While it was reportedly Sanders’ decision to move on from the NFL Network, he made some controversial comments in recent weeks as players around the NFL started He tweeted on Aug. 7 that players deciding not to play would be jeopardizing their careers, since the NFL would simply move on to the next player.“All Players OPTING out in all sports PLEASE BELIEVE the game will go on without u. At this juncture in my analysis I feel it is the best criteria, but as I said, this is my opinion. Scan the board when you first start so you can focus on making words with the highest scoring letters. Any system one would choose has pros and cons.I think your list is wrong. I’ll give you a hint, his name rhymes with Franco Harris.A short list, but two of the better players to ever be in the league.Idaho is mainly known for growing potatoes, but they also produced a very good defensive back in Larry Wilson.Howie Long is the only player on this list inducted within a decade of his retirement.Florida doesn’t rank very high on our list, but they were not always such a populous state, and until the 80’s they were not known for football.
In my way of thinking, the best football state is not so much about who has the most as it is about which grounds are the most fertile. Here are the states with the most NFL Hall of Fame members: 1. Thanks for playing!Almost is where I'm from too, lol. NOT YOU! John Elway is one of 32 Hall of Fame football players to come from California.Ditka coached the 1985 Chicago Bears to the Super Bowl championship.Staubach, a 1985 inductee, is one of 24 Ohio players in the Hall of Fame.Dickerson ran for over 13,000 yards in his Hall of Fame career.Levy, who led the Buffalo Bills to four straight Super Bowls, was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2001.Sanders founded the high school, Prime Prep Academy, in 2012.The Packers' legendary stadium was named after Green Bay native Curly Lambeau.Davis, inducted in 1992, was a part of three Super Bowl wins for the Raiders.Smith, inducted in 2009, finished his career with 200 sacks.Rice went into the Hall of Fame in 2010 as the NFL's all-time leader in receptions, receiving touchdowns, and receiving yards.MaxPreps is a registered trademark of CBS Broadcasting Inc. California moves high school football to the Spring
I guess its all perspective and opinion, until the HOF does something about it. Ohio comes in third at 24. Only the ref, umps & officials are that important that u can’t play without them. Comments are not for promoting your articles or other sites.Arkansas has 6...you left out Dan Hampton of the Bears. Maxpreps has the real rankings.Bobby: thanks so much for the positive feedback. I took out the 5 or 6 zeros that go before each number to make the data more palatable. I can't believe how awesome your hubs are.
