Pro Football Hall of Fame Members
Syracuse’s legacy in the Pro Football Hall of Fame ranks among the finest of any college football program. The Orange boast eight inductees, tied for the fifth-most of any school. Jim Brown (1971) was the Orange’s first representative enshrined in Canton. Marvin Harrison (2016) is SU’s most recent honoree. Three players (Art Monk, Floyd Little and Harrison) earned induction during the nine-year period from 2008 to 2016.
Only Notre Dame (13), USC (12), Ohio State (10) and Michigan (9) have more representatives in the Pro Football Hall of Fame than Syracuse.
